Special in Uniform unit



Special in Uniform is an innovative program that integrates youth with disabilities into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and helps prepare them for careers following their army service.

The program was founded to give everyone the opportunity to fulfill their potential and contribute to society, regardless of any disability. Special in Uniform goes beyond the walls of IDF bases, helping its graduates integrate into the workforce and Israeli society in meaningful ways.

These articles and videos can be used to educate learners on Jewish Disabilities Awareness and Inclusion Month, the inclusion efforts of institutions like the IDF, and the unique contributions people with disabilities offer.
