 OPERATION IRON SWORDS

EMERGENCY SUPPORT

At this time, all 31 soldiers living in Bayit Brigade apartments have been called to duty. They left their homes on Oct 7th and reported to army bases throughout the county. In addition, Bayit Brigade staff who are reservists, as well as two of our board members have been called to action.

Amidst one of the darkest days in Israel’s history, they are all answering the call. Now it is our turn. Many have asked how they can help. In response, we have set up an Emergency Support Fund that will provide immediate aid to all our Lone Soldiers. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to soldiers and the victims of terror in Israel. In addition, we have setup an Evacuee Host Program to match displaced citizens from Southern Israel with hosts in safer areas.

WHERE THE MONEY WILL GO

  • Supplies, hygiene products, and clothing for active soldiers in the field

  • Groceries and basic home necessities so Soldiers can rest during time off of base

  • Rent relief for any veteran soldier who will be unable to work and may fall behind on bills

  • Medical bills for Soldiers that are injured and require long term care.

  • Humanitarian aid for victims of terror in Israel

  • Housing for displaced citizens from Southern Israel

  • Morale boosting initiatives for soldiers including BBQs and massage therapy

  • Mattress pads to provide a better sleep to soldiers on the font lines

DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS

We have a field team on the ground in Israel who are in regular communication with our Lone Soldiers. They are actively working with soldiers to help them navigate their situations and are providing an extra layer of love, care, and support. Our team is actively creating an inventory of soldier needs and building a distribution network to provide resources when and where soldiers need it.

100% of the funds raised will go directly to Lone Soldiers via our field team on the ground in Israel.

Please consider making a donation now. Your funds will not just go to provide immediate critical needs but will boost the morale of our brave young men and women who enter harms way knowing that we stand behind them.

We pray for the safety of IDF Soldiers and the State of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai.

How We Make a Difference.

 

“Finding this apartment was the best thing that has happened to me during my service. This beautiful place gives me something to look forward to every time I get off from the army.”

JORDAN, Toronto

“Living in a nice area where we can go to the beach and rest allows us to return to base refreshed. We can focus on the army knowing that Bayit Brigade is there to look after the apartment if something comes up.”

Adam, Argentina

“Being a Lone Soldier I often feel out of my comfort zone. Having a home base at my Bayit Brigade apartment has helped keep me grounded. It’s been extremely important to me.”

Milan, Miami

“Finding an apartment is really tough for Lone soldiers, especially on an army budget. Bayit Brigade came in and set everything up. They provided me with a great apartment, at an amazing price, with awesome roommates. I am so grateful.”

Harry, New York

“I started my degree after getting released from the the army. The intensity of my studies limited my ability to work. The housing Scholarship from Bayit Brigade significantly aided my financial stability, and helped me build my new path despite the challenges of being a released Lone Soldier studying in Hebrew in Israel. I want to thank you for the support, and hope you continue to help Lone Soldiers like me in ways they will not forget.”

Yotam, Boston

 

What is a Lone Soldier?

Meet the Bayit Brigade Lone Soldiers living in our apartment on Rabbi Pinchas Street in Tel Aviv-Yaffo.

Nikolai (Ukraine), Milan (Miami, USA), and Adam (Argentina).

A soldier in the IDF that has no immediate family in Israel.

There are 6,000 Lone Soldiers from 80 countries in the IDF today. Half are volunteers from abroad that leave home to fight for Israel, many coming from North America, Europe, Russia, and Ukraine. Others are new immigrants, Israelis from broken homes, and former ultra-Orthodox with no connection to family.

Soldiers must apply for Lone Soldier status with the army to receive extra benefits including a small stipends for housing.

Lone Soldiers face unique challenges as they adjust to life in a foreign country. Many struggle with homesickness and end up leaving Israel after the army. Our mission is to help them stay.
