Sar-El IDF Volunteers

A few days ago was the tenth anniversary of International Year of Volunteers.

Each year, approximately 4,000 Jews and non-Jews from 30 countries fly to Israel and volunteer in the IDF for several weeks.

G-d bless them.

  1. My Dad and stepmother did this for a couple of weeks. (They had to sleep on opposite sides of the hall!) My Dad was one of the youngest in his group; I think the groups may be by age. A lot of them did this all year; many were not Jewish, I think one from Germany. They had to return home once a year, as they didn’t have residency. Their “commanders” were three young Russian girls, about a quarter their age.

    They packed medic kits. My Dad still proudly wears his Sar-el pin.
