Description

Thousands of Lone Soldiers come from all over the world to serve in the Israeli army.  What caused these brave youngsters to leave everything and come to Israel? Where do they live? Who does their laundry when they get out for weekends? How do they pay rent? 

Arlene Abrams is a mother of a lone soldier, Efraim. She talks about her son’s experience in the Gaza War. Ellen Tuggle is the mother of Zack, a lone soldier who finished his army service. She tells us about her work with  Big Brother/Sister Organization.
