AHARAI! Pre-Army Preparation is our premier initiative, equipping thousands of Israeli teenagers every year with the physical, mental, and ethical tools necessary for meaningful military service and successful integration into society,. We believe that military service is both a duty and a privilege, and our goal is to ensure that every participant embarks on this journey as an engaged, responsible, and contributing citizen of Israel.
The program primarily serves high school seniors (12th graders) across more than 120 groups in northern, central, and southern Israel, with a special focus on the geographic and social periphery.
Preparing youth to serve in the IDF with excellence, driven by a deep sense of responsibility.
Nurturing the next generation of IDF commanders and social pioneers.
Fostering a profound sense of belonging, identity, and commitment to the State of Israel.
