Tasks include packing medical supplies, sorting essential equipment, and organizing food packages to ensure front-line soldiers have everything they need to succeed. Your efforts will directly impact Israel’s defense during these challenging times.
Krav Maga Training – Building Confidence and Community
In addition to supporting the IDF, participants will receive Krav Maga training from expert instructors. This training is designed to:
- Boost confidence: Learn skills that help you feel empowered in any situation.

The program includes two on-base training sessions led by Krav Maga experts and two immersive day-long visits to the renowned Wingate Institute, Israel’s National Center for Physical Education and Sport. These sessions are designed not only to teach self-defense but also to create a sense of camaraderie among participants, as you learn and grow together.
