Can I be placed in a tank unit through the Mahal program?
Yes, if the IDF decides you are qualified for it, and you are
needed there.
***
Do I have other options than infantry or non-combat?
The IDF decides after your enlistment where you will serve. This
includes
all other IDF units that are not infantry or non-combat, like
artillery,
tanks etc.
***
Which Hebrew Study Program (ulpan) is best?
Israel maintains an incredible infrastructure for intensive Hebrew
language
training which has been enhanced over years of experience and
millions of
new immigrants.
However, Mahal-IDF-Volunteers.org recommends the free IDF Ulpan
only. Details
here.
***
Can I enlist at the age of 24 and 3 months?
No.
***
Are there any vision requirements, or restrictions for those
who wear
glasses (particularly in the sayarot)?
Yes, in principle. It is the prerogative of the IDF to decide.
***
How does the IDF determine where to place you? Does one have
any say
in where he/she is placed?
Your preferences play a role in the IDF’s decision. The IDF has
the last
word, after your enlistment.
***
What are the military's fitness standards (run times and
distances,
push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups etc)?
Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire will bring you in shape starting from zero.
***
What legal status do Mahal volunteers have in Israel?
Mahal volunteers will most likely enter Israel with a B2 (tourist)
visa,
and change that at the Interior Ministry to A1 or A2 visa. The A2
status
can be easily changed to a A1 (temporary resident), but the A1
cannot be
changed easily to A2.
***
Will it be possible to open up a bank account?
Yes.
