What’s a lone soldier?
Lone soldiers are brave young men and women from all over the world who choose to leave the comfort of their homes and families to become proud IDF soldiers. Far from their families, their service is uniquely challenging.
7,000 lone soldiers are currently serving in the IDF.
Despite wearing the same uniforms as their comrades, lone soldiers deal with a unique set of challenges. Thousands of miles away from their loved ones, lone soldiers must acclimate to the IDF alone, without the support of their families.

A home away from home.
Lone soldiers face their biggest challenge on the weekends. As their native Israeli comrades excitedly count down the days to their weekend breaks, knowing they’ll be greeted by the warmth of their families, lone soldiers come home to an empty apartment with an empty fridge.
These young men and women leave everything behind to defend the Land and People of Israel – and they’re counting on us to support their noble efforts. Friends of Libi supports lone soldiers by providing them with a community where they can build a home away from home.
