We have to Prepare for war as if it is inevitable and strive for peace as if it's in reach
The security field occupies a central place in Yigal Allon’s life and legacy, from his service as a company commander in the Palmach, through leading decisive moves as commander of the Palmach and commander of the Southern Front during the War of Independence, to formulating the Geo-political Security perception that stood in the center of the “Allon Plan” after the six-day war. Recognizing that the relationship between army and society is characterized by mutual influence, Yigal Allon developed the IDF’s concept of a “humane people’s army” – a strong army that fulfills its security mission, which sees itself as part of a democratic and solidary society, and that those who serve in it are driven by a sense of mission and social responsibility. We believe that this concept should be adopted by members of the security forces (in the IDF, the Israel Police, the Fire and Rescue Service, the IPS and MADA) in dealing with the complex challenges they face.
The Yigal Allon Center offers a variety of programs on topics related to command and leadership, pioneering and Zionism, history and geopolitics and heritage. We work with a target audience ranging from soldiers to senior officers and operate in frameworks tailored to the unit’s needs, from short-term activities, through seminars to annual courses.
