4 Week Pre Military Program

The Garin Mahal Pre-Army Program is the PREMIER PRE-ARMY PREPARATORY PROGRAM FOR LONE SOLDIERS aspiring to serve as combat soldiers in the IDF. This program is challenging and will push those that choose to take on its entirety to their limits. Through its rigor, those who complete the preparatory program will be sure to gain a self-confidence in not only themselves, but as well in their ability to tackle all the challenges that a combat service in the IDF might offer. Participants are guaranteed to leave the program having a greater understanding of what it means to embody the warrior ethos. 

In May 2010, Garin Mahal was established as the first ever IDF pre-army preparatory program for lone soldiers. As a result of its success, in 2015 The Ministry of Defense decided to adopt the concept and therefore, made it mandatory for all Mahal volunteers to attend a pre-army preparatory program before their enlistment.

Since it's inception, Garin Mahal has physically and mentally prepared over 1000 lone soldiers from all over the world for the IDF. The Garin Mahal Program is specifically designed to equip lone soldiers with all of the tools necessary to have a meaningful service and excel in the IDF. This includes mental toughness, physical fitness, and an ability to better understand the Hebrew language. Hence, all of the training is designed with the full intention to improve each participant’s overall ability to succeed and overcome. All of the training is conducted in Hebrew, which will give pre-draftees a leg up in their journey to mastering the language. Only those that have ever been through challenging times know that suffering is the catalyst to growth. Experiencing these experiences as a pre-draftee will callous the mind and body; giving those looking to excel in basic combat and special forces a significant upper hand. In addition, Garin Mahal provides the opportunity to immerge one’s self in the lone soldier community. Creating relationships with peers going through the same process can be beneficial for both spirit and mind. There is nothing like the bonds created when a group of individuals seeking the same goal come together and conquer the required challenges necessary to obtain it.

In addition to the basic structure of the program, special forces specific training is offered to those that have a desire to push themselves to their limits for the sake of achieving self-excellence. Only those with the intestinal fortitude and discipline to push themselves past perceived barriers will be able to succeed in such units. These specific training sessions are designed with the goal of increasing one’s ability to be COMFORTABLE with being UNCOMFORTABLE in an extremely stressful environment. As well, the participants will learn how these special forces tryouts are conducted and the strategy needed to pass them. The training sessions offered include workouts and special forces try out simulations. Both are conducted by active and past special forces soldiers. If you seek glory in the form of pushing barriers, then special forces is something to consider.Garin Mahal provides a network to lone soldiers, which will assist them throughout the draft process, during their service, and after its completion.

Participating in Garin Mahal does not require the participant to draft to the army. Drafting to the army is completely optional and up to the individual's own desires. That being said, the program is designed for those with intention to draft.  

Those that do decide to draft can choose from two options: drafting as a Mahal volunteer or as a Oleh Hadash (Citizen). 

Mahal soldiers are required to serve 18 months 

Olim Hadashim are required to serve 2 years and 8 months (subject to age and other factors such as time in country).
