Beit Almog Shilony - for lone soldiers

ALMOG SHILONY’S HOME Almog Shilony’s Home in Modiin is a happy, warm and supportive home for lone soldiers. The home was founded to reflect Almog Shilony’s values, to commemorate his accomplishments and enable many others to continue in the spirit of his way of life. Almog Shilony’s first Home was inaugurated on March 25th 2015, recognized by the IDF as a home for lone soldiers. The fully accessorized house provides a room for each soldier for the entire time that he is in the IDF service, as well as other services like food, cleaning and clothing. Almog Shilony’s Home is planned to operate in its current form until the permanent home is established. The permanent Home is planned to be located in Modi’in and provide a solution for 100 lone soldiers. The land allocated by Modiin municipality. Each soldier is accompanied by an adoptive and supportive family from the community. The adoptive family accompanies the soldier and takes care of all his/her needs, with emphasis on the emotional needs – invitations for weekend meals, daily communication and sincere interest in his/her wellbeing, visits at base and events such as parents day, ceremonies, beret march and more. The Goals of Almog Shilony’s Home: To connect the lone soldier to home and an adoptive family in order to help him/her realize his/her potential as an IDF soldier, equal among equals. To harness the civilians to community action and volunteer for lone soldiers. To assimilate values such as heroism, loving of the other, giving, mutual assistance and responsibility in the IDF and the society, in the spirit of the memory of Almog Shilony. Almog’s home will assist the single lone soldier when released from the army in order to help him/her integrate into the Israeli society.
