The Michael Levin Base

About the Michael Levin Base

The Michael Levin Base was formed by volunteers and professionals who have vast experience working with the Lone Soldier Community. The base aims to support not only lone soldiers but lone B’not Sheirut as well as olim families and olim soldiers drafting to the IDF. These three communities share some common issues as well as each have their individual needs. The Base hopes to connect these three communities of young people to help create a support network and support for their families.
