About Ma'ale Adumim
Ma'ale Adumim is a city in the greater Jerusalem area with a vibrant Israeli-Ethiopian community. The real-estate market offers a wide range of apartments, duplexes and private homes — often at more accessible prices than neighbouring Jerusalem, with quick access to the capital and the central region.
On Discharge Day
A discharged IDF soldier receives a "discharge certificate" — a critical document. Don't lose it.
NII Benefits for Discharged Soldiers
Immediate health insurance: from discharge day, full coverage until registering with a health fund (30 days). Automatic — no action needed.
30-day unemployment: unlike regular employees, discharged soldiers don't need to prove job-seeking for the first 30 days. Register at Employment Service on discharge day.
Academic study reimbursement: soldiers starting studies within 3 months of discharge may receive tuition reimbursement — check with the academic institution.
Rehabilitation grant: soldiers who developed medical issues during service (back, head injury, PTSD) — apply to the Rehabilitation Division within 1 year.
