2019 Friends of the Israel Defense Forces & Nefesh B' Nefesh Lone Soldier 'Personal Errands Day'

FIDF in partnership with Nefesh B’Nefesh hosted its 6th Annual ‘Personal Errands Day’ for Lone Soldiers on 24 January at Beit HaChayal in TEL AVIV.

More than 3,500 Lone Soldiers from around the world, including over 1,000 from North America, are currently serving in the IDF. About 1,600 Lone Soldiers from 70 different countries benefited on that day.

The Errands Day, which was attended by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in cooperation with the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, Ministry of Interior, The Jewish Agency, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael, the Jewish National Fund-USA and with the assistance of Yahad, brought together all of the essential civilian agencies whose services are needed by Lone Soldiers in order to streamline the soldiers’ efforts to take care of their logistical tasks.

Organized together with the IDF Human Resources Department, Yom Siddurim acts as a one-stop-shop for Lone Soldiers to complete a wide range of errands, so that they can spend their days off from the Army relaxing rather than attempting to navigate the often-challenging Israeli bureaucracy.

From driving tests administered on site, to tax consultation, passport and ID assistance, and even an employment workshop, Lone Soldiers also had the opportunity to receive one-on-one personal consultation on acclimating into post-Army life in Israel.
