I would like to volunteer for a longer / shorter period of time. Is
that possible?
Serving for longer periods is never a problem. The IDF will
gladly retain
motivated soldiers, especially volunteers.
Staying for a shorter period is not possible.
If you would like to volunteer, but you don't have 14 (18)
months to
spare, please check out our "Other
Volunteer
Programs" section.
***
I am not interested in working as a part time volunteer at a
Jewish
community. Can I still volunteer for the IDF?
Yes. Many Mahal volunteers will volunteer some of their time to
their
communities upon returning home. Past experience has shown that
the benefits,
both to the community and to the volunteers themselves, are
great, but
it is not mandatory.
***
What is a "Lone Soldier" (Chayal Boded)/ To which privileges
and financial
assistance is a Chayal Boded entitled?
A Chayal Boded as a soldier who has no family (parent, brother,
sister,
husband, wife) in Israel. Most Mahal volunteers fall into this
category.
If you have family in Israel that cannot support you and you live
alone,
you might be recognized as a Chayal Boded. The status “Chayal
Boded” is
formally established by the IDF following enlistment. Click

assistance
to which a Chayal Boded is entitled.

Israel before
