Community Resilience, Haredi Community, Soldiers' Families

About

The welcome rise in Haredi enlistment brings a distinct challenge home: the family becomes a “second front,” facing an unfamiliar military system, community pressure, and emotional and financial strain. The Haredi Home Front supports families holistically, in their own cultural language. Professional guidance keeps the family cohesive, gives the soldier peace of mind to serve well, and lays the groundwork for integration into Israeli society and the workforce after discharge. In partnership with the Friedberg Charitable Foundation.
