Supporting Reservists & Their Families

 From IDF Service to Financial Stability: Paamonim’s Reservist Program

For two consecutive years, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been called up for repeated, prolonged reserve duty, leaving behind families, jobs, and businesses for months at a time. Many entered the war already financially stretched, following Israel’s 2022 economic crisis and its wave of interest-rate hikes and rising living costs.

Returning reservists are now facing the full weight of that reality: lost income, mounting debts, businesses on the brink, and the complex challenge of reclaiming their rights and rebuilding stable household finances.

Paamonim is there for them. We provide professional financial guidance and hands-on support to IDF reservists – men and women alike – and their families across Israel, whose income or independent businesses were significantly disrupted by prolonged service. We work with salaried employees and the self-employed, reaching families through partner referrals and direct outreach.

Your support makes this possible. Help us stand by the people who stood up for all of us.

Over the past year and a half, my journey has taken on a meaning that is difficult to put into words. As someone who accompanies the families of reservists and evacuees from the north through Paamonim’s “Economic Emergency Room” program, I have had the privilege of standing alongside the people who form the resilient home-front for all of us.

In the past year and a half, I have accompanied more than 100 families. Each one is a world unto itself, a story of everyday courage, of navigating uncertainty, and of a deep desire to protect their home, both the physical one and the financial one.

My connection with Paamonim began six years ago, as a student with a dream to lead and make an impact. I started as a volunteer, continued as a team leader, and today I am proud to say that Paamonim is my home, both as a staff member managing the organization’s student network and as a counselor on the ground.

I am grateful for this privilege every single day. This work is not only about giving, I receive from these families inspiration, strength, and a life lesson about resilience and the ability to change reality, even when it is challenging.

We are here to ensure that no family faces the economic struggle alone.
