Joining the IDF is a special moment for all Israelis, but holds particular significance for IDF orphans and their families. To show support for our orphans, we provide them with a special heavy-duty backpack with essential supplies they will need during their service. We are moved by their dedication to their country: not only has their father or mother given their life for our homeland, but now they are joining the ranks and continuing to serve and protect us.
Established in 1991, IDF Widows and Orphans Organization runs projects and activities all year round. It is the representative body for widows and orphans at the legislative level and in the face of the wider public, and it offers emotional, social, financial, and any other necessary support.
