IDF Prep Academy Soldiers Return To Continue Learning

Hesder IDF Prep Academy students return from army service to continue their Torah learning

Students at Bet El's IDF Prep Academy are comprised of disadvantaged youth-at-risk, often coming off the streets or from broken homes. The Academy provides them with a vital year of intensive training prior to their three-year army service. With a focus on character-building and Jewish identity, the students are guided toward a belief in their own futures and a commitment to serving the Jewish Nation.

The Academy offers a Hesder program for these students, which allows them to intersperse their army service with continued Torah learning. Year 4 students (students who completed one pre-army year at the Academy and two years of army service) returned to the Academy this week to spend the next year continuing their Torah learning.
