Over the past\u00a020 years, while the motivation among Israel&#8217;s youth to serve in the army has consistently declined, Bnei David offered its students a new path &#8211; a path that views serving in the IDF as a value and a privilege, Bnei David&#8217;s graduates consider their army service a mission. No less than their dedication to Torah study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bnei David&#8217;s success in this realm is reflected in its impact. 20 years after its inception, Bnei David has over 2,300 alumni, over 50% whom have served as officers in the fighting units and over 40% served in Elite Commando units. At any given moment over 400 Mechina graduates are in uniform, serving their country in fighting units.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would be happy if you could join us as partners to this important project.
