Supporting Lone Soldiers Across Israel

The Lone Soldier Project (LSP) is the leading organization dedicated to supporting lone soldiers throughout their military journey—before enlistment, during service, and well into civilian life.

About us

Here for You In Every Challenge

Serving as a lone soldier comes with unique challenges that regular IDF soldiers do not face. The Lone Soldiers Program exists to ensure that no soldier feels alone navigating life in Israel. Our team brings firsthand experience, cultural understanding, and genuine empathy to every conversation. The Lone Soldiers Program (LSP) is run by Nefesh B'Nefesh in partnership with the FIDF. We support Olim and Mahal soldiers who serve in the IDF while their families live abroad.
