Jewish Identity

Darchei Avot is dedicated to strengthening Jewish identity, heritage, and values among IDF soldiers through meaningful and inspiring programs that provide spiritual enrichment and a deeper connection to their roots.

Each week, Darchei Avot hosts IDF units for immersive Shabbat weekend retreats. These transformative experiences include prayer services and joyous dancing at the Kotel, engaging educational sessions on Jewish heritage, and delicious meals that bring tradition and warmth to the soldiers.

 

In addition to Shabbat retreats, Darchei Avot offers weekday programs in Jerusalem and organizes classes to bring Jewish learning directly to soldiers wherever they serve.

Darchei Avot’s mission is to help Israeli soldiers appreciate the significance of what they are fighting for. Many participants have little or no prior exposure to Judaism.

 

By fostering a connection to Jewish heritage, the land of Israel, and the unity of the Jewish people, Darchei Avot inspires soldiers with a renewed sense of purpose, pride, and belonging.

Rehabilitation and Support for Wounded Soldiers

Darchei Avot operates a dedicated program aimed at supporting the recovery and well-being of wounded IDF soldiers. This initiative offers emotional and spiritual care for soldiers healing from injuries sustained during their service.

 

The program features therapy sessions, tailored workshops, and personalized assistance to guide soldiers through their recovery journey. Activities are thoughtfully designed to build resilience, encourage healing, and create a supportive community rooted in Jewish values.

Supporting Teens at Risk 

In Israel, thousands of teenagers are "at-risk," facing challenges that jeopardize their future. Many struggle without support, often missing opportunities for education and stable employment.

Darchei Avot is committed to addressing this crisis. By supporting these teens during this critical time, we can guide them toward hope, purpose, and success.

Together for Israel
 

"Together for Israel" is a unique initiative designed to strengthen the bond between Jewish people worldwide who visit Israel and the courageous IDF soldiers defending our homeland. Through meaningful programs, we provide opportunities to connect, share experiences, and celebrate our shared heritage and unwavering love for Israel.

From exploring Israel’s most iconic sites together to sharing meals and participating in collaborative service projects, these encounters foster unity, inspiration, and lasting connections. Visitors to Israel have the chance to deeply connect with the heroes of the IDF, creating cherished memories while building bridges across the global Jewish community.
