Nechama Rivlin, wife of President Reuven Rivlin, and Chana Eizenkot, wife of IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, on Sunday evening raised a toast in honor of the Jewish New Year with lone soldiers in Jerusalem.
About a hundred IDF soldiers took part in the event, among them soldiers who live in the Beit Hachayal (soldiers' hostel) in Jerusalem, which hosts some 80 lone soldiers.
