Female soldiers have shown impressive service, particularly during the current war in Gaza and as air force pilots during Operation Rising Lion against Iran.

To show appreciation and provide support for these soldiers, Lev Lechayalot was founded by Rabbi Shalom and Rebbetzin Lynne Myers, South African immigrants who lead the Emek Learning Center community in Jerusalem.

The idea began after the couple’s sons were called to duty when the war started on October 7.
