Our Recent Achievements Helping IDF Soldiers

We built this kitchenette for the soldiers serving in Chatmar Shomron

Jun 18, 2020

We built this kitchenette for the soldiers serving in Chatmar Shomron so they can make a quick meal and grab a cup of coffee whenever they need it.
Many soldiers carry out their duties over long shifts and they don’t always have a break or finish their shift during the standard scheduled meal times of the rest of the base. This kitchenette will provide a solution for any hungry soldiers during the odd hours of the day or night when the cafeteria might be closed.

Basketball Hoops for Heroes

Jun 18, 2020

Back in December of 2019, Yashar LaChayal hosted the Hoops for Heroes Yeshiva Middle School Basketball Tournament. This tournament consisted of 13 different schools from the New York-New Jersey region with over 200 players, each raising money for different units in the Israel Defense Forces.
Together, these middle-school kids raised over $40,000 to purchase portable basketball hoops for soldiers in units all over the army, giving our brave Chayalim an opportunity to blow off steam and keep in shape while they’re on base.
The first round of basketball hoops has arrived, and the units are coming to pick them up!

We Provided Rehabilitative Equipment for an Injured Soldier

Jun 3, 2020

Yashar LaChayal has been following the recovery of Shadi Ibrahim, the brave tank soldier who was in critical condition and lost his leg in a car-ramming terror attack almost two weeks ago. Shadi is currently in rehabilitation where we went to visit and bring him gifts such as a laptop, Nintendo, and games to make his stay a little easier. We wish him all the best and will continue to be there for him and his family.

We have been distributing hygiene products including hair cutting equipment, hand sanitizer, shampoo, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and wet wipes to various bases all over Israel.

Giving Hundreds of Grocery Vouchers to Soldiers in Need Through Out the Army

Mar 20, 2020

Every year, Yashar LaChayal packages food for hundreds of such soldiers ahead of Passover. Due to the COVID-19 virus, we are unable to deliver the food packages this year. However, this has not stopped us from doing what we can to help. This year we will be giving out grocery vouchers to as many soldiers in need as we can.

We Gave Out Thousands of Mishloach Manot (Purim snack packs) to Soldiers for Purim!

Mar 11, 2020

As you all know, here in Israel and throughout the world, we are all taking the necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of ourselves and of our communities. This Purim we at Yashar LaChayal were able to spread as much Purim joy as we could to soldiers throughout the country. We were able to deliver thousands of Mishloach Manot (Purim snack packs) to thousands of soldiers!
