The Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levin was founded in Israel in 2009 in memory of American-Israeli soldier Michael Levin by a group of former "Lone Soldiers": young men and women who either venture to Israel to make Aliyah and join the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), or Israeli-born individuals who are serving compulsory military service but lack the presence or support of their families.〔''Jerusalem Post'' Website, ("The Lone Soldier Center fosters a community for more than 5,000 lone soldiers" )〕 Some lone soldiers come from Haredi families within Israel but have been shunned by their communities because joining the army is considered a dismissal of traditional life. In recent years, Israel has experienced an influx of foreigners arriving to serve in the IDF, making the center's operations even more necessary than they were before.〔''Jerusalem Post'' Website, ("First lone-soldier center dedicated in downtown Jerusalem" )〕 The Lone Soldier Center assists lone soldiers before and after their service by providing community meals, clothing and other necessities, furniture for the living quarters of lone soldiers, and a team of advisors ready to answer any questions soldiers have before, during, and after their service. ==History== Twenty-one-year-old Michael Levin died in combat in the summer of 2006 in the Second Lebanon War during a mission to rescue two IDF soldiers who had been kidnapped by Hizbollah. Levin was a Philadelphia native who made Aliyah in 2002 to join the IDF Parasect. His dream was to one day create a center that would serve lone soldiers from around the world. Tziki Aud became close to Michael Levin during Levin's service. He empathized with Levin's dream and decided to create the Lone Soldier Center to honor the death of Levin and preserve his memory.
