Welcome to the Jewcer page of Heseg Mechina, a pre-army preparatory program dedicated to nurturing the potential of future lone soldiers in the IDF.

Founded by alumni of the Heseg Foundation, our mission is to empower individuals for impactful military service while nurturing Israeli identity and fostering social leadership. We are dedicated to addressing the distinct needs of future lone soldiers in Israel.

Heseg Mechina will provide intensive and meaningful preparation for Israeli youth without family support and olim from abroad for a service in the IDF. The program will act to strengthen and connect its participants to the state of Israel and its Jewish and democratic values while providing a community, home, and family.

The Mechina will promote self-fulfillment and empowerment of the individual and the group, cooperation and partnership, to forge an Israeli identity and prepare for meaningful service and a prosperous adult life by encouraging excellence, curiosity, and independent thinking.

Our Mission: To provide intensive preparation and support for future lone soldiers, promoting Israeli identity and social leadership through a 6-month program.

Our Participants: Soon-to-be lone soldiers in the IDF, including new immigrants, orphans, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who lack family support and face unique challenges. Despite these challenges, they exhibit remarkable resilience and ambition, seeking to excel in their future military service and beyond.

The Team: We are a group of over 20 scholars and alumni of the Heseg Foundation Scholarship, all former lone soldiers with diverse backgrounds and professions. Through our shared experiences, we deeply understand the challenges faced by youths without family support, and we’re dedicated to using our collective expertise to make a positive impact and provide support to those in similar circumstances.

The Mechina foresees its alumni as the future leaders of Israel in a wide range of fields, engaged in Israeli society to minimize social gaps, promote equality, patience, and justice. This is driven by Zionism, the love of Israel and its people, and a deeply rooted responsibility for the future of the state of Israel.

Contribute to our program by supporting our fundraising efforts today. We appreciate your presence here and every bit of support.
