The Haredi service tracks in the IDF are home to approximately 3,000 soldiers from ultra-Orthodox backgrounds who chose to serve in the IDF despite the many challenges from home and the environment in which they come from.

The organization’s professional team works in cooperation with the IDF and the Defense Ministry to establish the platforms and create an environment adapted for the needs of Haredi soldiers in the IDF, to help preserve the values ​​of Haredi society.

The team accompanies our soldiers on a daily basis, giving Torah lessons, lectures, personal accompaniment and more, assisting the soldiers in fulfilling their potential of both giving, and getting, the most out of their service. This helps them develop personal and social resilience on the road to each soldier’s personal success.

In addition, the rabbis and advisers of the Netzah Yehuda association serve as a bridge between the army and the families of the soldiers and the ultra-Orthodox community.

Since its launch in 1999, the IDF’s Haredi tracks have produced more than 24,000 veterans. Many of these veterans face significant hurdles reintegrating into civilian life, particularly when navigating academic institutions and the job market. To meet their needs, we established the Veterans’ Program, which today encompasses dozens of tailored initiatives:

• Beit Midrash for Personal Identity: A dedicated learning environment where veterans explore and strengthen their Jewish identity.

• Leadership Development: Prestigious programs designed to cultivate the next generation of Haredi community leaders.

• Matchmaking Circles: Facilitated groups that help veterans build personal and family foundations.

• Academic Partnerships: Collaboration with Haredi colleges and universities, including scholarship guidance and mentorship.

• Veterans’ Job Board: A network of roughly 1,000 veteran-owned businesses, fostering mutual support and creating new opportunities in employment, housing, and consumer services.

Together, these components ensure our veterans receive the spiritual, educational, and professional support they need to thrive.
