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.
