How to invite a chayal boded (lone soldier) for Passover

If you want to invite a chayal boded (a lone soldier who is doing his or her service in Israel without any family) for Passover, contact me for the army contact to get the process started. They will send you a form to fill out and upon approval you have guests for the seder. Its a really big mitzva and very interesting to meet soldiers who left home to serve in the army. You can request soldiers who speak English, French, Russian, Spanish and Hebrew.

Sid,
Thanks so much for your journal. I am going into Shlav Bet in two weeks, and hopefully extending for a year to serve as an engineer, and your blog (and others like it) have been an invaluable source of information.
