Fulfilling an Item on the Bucket List
Our bucket list adventure started with an idea of volunteering for Tzahal, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), which welcomes Jewish and non-Jewish volunteers from all over the globe, with no age restrictions.
I Will Never Forget The Soldiers
It was probably about twenty years ago when I first heard about Sar El. My neighbor’s parents were visiting from California and they had just returned from a two week stint of Sar EL.
Expectations Surpassed
I served in Sar-El from 9th – 27th June 2013, this was my second Sar El program, having done one previously in 2011. After submitting my paperwork, booking my flight and packing, I was a little apprehensive as to whether the coming program would live up to the wonderful experience I had in 2011.
Operation Pillar of Defence
– A Personal Perspective Operation Pillar of Defence was the historical backdrop to my third Sar-El programme. Up in the hills of the Galilee, near Afula, I spent my first week on a massive armaments and heavy artillery base for reservists. Something was about to happen, was the general feeling amongst my fellow Sar-elniks. We didn’t know what of course: there was simply a sense of unease.
