Garin Tzabar Garin Tzabar (Hebrew: גרעין צבר‎ ‎ ) is a program that facilitates service in the IDF and provides a support system (Israel Defense Forces) for Israelis and Diaspora Jews who do not have parents in Israel. Soldiers who do not have at least one parent living in Israel are called "Lone Soldiers". The Garin Tzabar members are Jewish young adults (ages 18-24, 23 for women) and sons and daughters of Israelis living abroad, who wish to make Israel their home and serve a meaningful service in the IDF as Lone Soldiers. Upon their arrival in Israel, the group is adopted by an Israel community (Kibbutz/city) that quickly becomes their home away from home, throughout the duration of their army service. In addition to Garin Tzabar staff, soldiers and educators from the IDF and teachers from the Ministry of Education assist with the transition.
