Garin Mahal Pre-Army Program
The Garin Mahal Pre-Army Program is the ultimate pre-army preparatory program for lone soldiers drafting to the IDF. Enter the IDF with complete confidence and motivation to succeed!
Garin Mahal introduced the first ever pre – army Program for lone soldiers in May 2010. Since it’s inception Garin Mahal has prepared mentally and physically over 700 lone soldiers from all over the world for the IDF. The Garin Mahal Program is specifically designed to equip lone soldiers with all of the tools necessary to have a meaningful service and excel in the IDF. All of the training is conducted in Hebrew which enables the pre-draftees to improve their Hebrew comprehension at a rapid pace. GM provides a solid supportive network to the lone soldiers which assists them before, during and after the army. At the end of the program participants are given the opportunity (if desired) to volunteer for an 18 month service in the IDF as Mahal Volunteers or Olim Hadashim.
The Garin Mahal Program is an official pre – army program recognized by the Ministry of Defense of Israel. Mahal volunteers fulfill their requirement of attending a pre – army program upon completion of Garin Mahal.
