A Letter Jacket For My Wife... Israel Style
I never got to give my wife a Letter Jacket. I was never on one of those teams, nor did I know my wife when I had a chance to be the Yeshiva High school star quarterback.
But now, I'm an Israeli, and I go to reserve duty, and so...
Here is the Israeli version of the Letter Jacket:
The Tzahal Fleece!!! (which my reserve unit gave out)
Check out some of my Miluim photos...
That's me!
Here are some of my buddies: this is Meyer!
This is Eran making the tea!
This is Kfir (he has long hair, and he's a new guy)
A beautiful sunset in Eretz Yisrael
One last comment - even if the IDF has problems, when you go to miluim you get to:
1. Speak Hebrew with Am Yisrael
2. See Eretz Yisrael
3. Protect both Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael
No wonder that miluim is still a beloved Israeli experience. We all pray, all my buddies included, that our government will use our army properly, to fight our enemies, and protect our people, and not the other way around.

Wishfull thinking Yishai. I can't get the pictures of Tzahal storming Synagogues and desecrating Jewish graves out of my head...

Hey anonymous. Didn't you see the fleece? It has a patch on it that marks its wearer as one who has refused immoral orders and will do so in the future.
If we leave the IDF to the order-followers, how will the rest of our units know that refusal is an option when they are send on the next Amona?
