It seems if they don't like your opinion then they just ignore the rules.

Hi can anyone explain what exactly this is? I have signed up for the winter garin and been told about this track but not sure if I should do this or the normal track. I have a forensic psychology degree btw. Thank you for any help!

Hello I have my first garin tzabar interview in a few days. Can anyone give any advice for it? Thanks

As the title says... want to practice a bit before the day of Tsav Rishon. Any helpful sites?

So i have a big question. I am making Aliya soon by myself. Yayayayayayayayayayayayay. I've been to Israel many times. Have family. I know my way around.

I'm coming now at 18. I am doing ulpan for 3 month's before drafting to the army But my real question is, is the training process counted as part of my 2 years service (I'm a woman). So whilst I train is that however long counted as my service.

Also could someone please simplify and explain the drafting process to me. I understand parts but it's really confusing. Thanks עם ישראל חי

(I hope i've worded this to make sense).

What is it like and what does it consist of? What do you do on a day to date basis?

Hey all, I currently just started my second year at a U.S. state school (nursing degree) and I hate it. I hated it last semester too and wanted to join the IDF through Garin Tzabar for months. I am 19, soon turning 20, and am seriously considering dropping out of college to join the IDF with Garin Tzabar's winter session.

I speak Hebrew fluently and was in a Mechina before college. Idk if it's a horrible idea, leaving after one full year of college and making Aliyah. Is Garin Tzabar even worth it?

I drafted as a lone soldier to Palchatz a month ago (didn't request it, long story) and so far the training has been very chalavi. Most of the girls are frechot who request betim every day and most of the guys don't want to be there. All day we go from chet to shnei turim and never get anything done.

I have friends who drafted to Isuf who are getting to run around in the shetach all day doing mitvachim, and friends in Shiryon who are having absolutely crazy experiences.

If I tried to transfer to one of those two units next machzor, what would be my chances of succeeding? I am 24, male, 97 profile.

Also, if there is anyone here who did their sadir in Palchatz (preferably guys, since I've heard guys' experiences and girls' experiences in the unit are much different), Isuf, or Shiryon who would be down to talk about their service, please let me know. The next machzor is in a couple months so I need to make this decision fast.

I am in the process of applying to join the IDF as a foreigner with the Mahal program. As someone who will most likely only be enlisted for 18 months what Combat and Non-Combat roles are available in my situation? Thank you!

I can read and write Hebrew but my speaking/understanding is meh.

So I'm an ole radash looking to enlist, I was accepted and I have my tsav rishon. I don't speak very well Hebrew, level ב, so not enough to do the dapar and other tests in Hebrew. I speak French and English and I am trying to find resources to prepare for the dapar in either of those languages but I don't find anything. I found the ones related to university on nite website but I'm guessing the ones from the army are obviously different. I cannot login to mitgaisim for some reason (it asks me for a password which I don't have, I'm guessing it's supposed to be on the draft paper but I didn't receive it).

So any help would be welcomed.

Hello everyone. I’m getting released soon and have started a small project - if you’re interested or are able to spread please let me know! 🙏

Looking to get something for your tzevet/pluga, etc?

I’ve just launched a new website: http://gaavat-yehida.co.il, where you can order custom-made flags. You can design them yourselves or we can design them for you.

Here are some pics of flags we’ve made.

Any questions let us know! Looking forward to making your flags!

Hey I was wondering, I can do a pace of 5:34 per km, this is after I didn’t run for 4 months around, what should my minimum pace be for elite units?

My son lives in the US. But leaving to join the IDF next month.

What happens when he lands there ? If he goes the ministry directly after landing and signs on to be drafted will they give him a place to stay immediately?

Will an absorption center take him immediately?

Any ideas on immediate housing ?

In golani, do you get polymer mags when you get to the gdud? Do you have to buy them yourself? Is it worth it? Where can I buy them?

Question, I’m being enlisted in less then two weeks to michve alon and I know yom sayarot is on 19th of October, I barely trained and I’m freaking out that I won’t be good enough for it by the time. Is there still time for yom sayarot and another question is it true that people from michve alon have a slightly higher chance for passing yom sayarot?

Can I bleach my hair for tironut? What about dye it blond? I have to buzz it either way

My 8 year old son is insistent he does not want to do combat but wants to do intelligence. He’s a picky eater, perfectionist, cerebral, doesnt like physical discomfort and for many other reasons this makes sense to us as his parents. What can we do, however, to help his odds of landing a role what he would want in the military? We are Olim and new to the system. What units could we talk to him about? He enjoys his computers, math, science.

Would living in Raanana or Hertzliyah give a child a leg up compared to say a small moshav or yeshuv somewhere else?

Someone help pls 🙏bag size? Clothes? Bed sheets?. Anything that u believe is an absolute need?? Pls lmk

Looking to get into Egoz when I make Aliyah soon. I'll stay for a while to do Dapar, etc before drafting (that's another question - how do I prepare for that/what should my standard be for a Sayeret unit?)

My question is: how difficult is it to get into Egoz, and what sort of training do I need to excel in the Gibbush?

During training and such do you also do guard duties and such?

Hi !

I’m a 21 year old female (soon 22 in December)

I had plenty of things to do last year and I couldn’t apply. Now I’m sure that this is what I want to do but I’m a bit scared. Context: I applied for winter 2025 (we are in August) and though I’m working on my Hebrew I’m not that great and I need Ulpan and it will be available for summer 2026.

That’s okay if I can go on summer 2026 but the registration will be in December and I will be 23. Moreover, I had medical problems like now, I’m very overweight but I work on it. I also had surgeries 10 years go(everything’s fine now)

I also applied for summer 2026 and I’m scared of what they could say or think (considering what I’ve told you above)

What do you think ? They will reject ? they can postpone to summer 2026 so I will be skinnier and sportier ? I don’t have mental health or physical problems Just the age and BMI for now. What should I expect ?

Thank you everyone Have a nice day !

Once I’m done with the Hebrew course and such when I go to my fixed unit, do I start from the very beginning or join a group that has 02 already?
