In a couple of weeks I will be starting my service in Tzahal, the first Jewish army, of the Jewish people, in their Jewish homeland, in almost 2000 years.
This purpose of this blog is to document my experience in the Israeli Defense Forces, starting from my entry into the country. I hope to document not only what will occur, but how I feel as well. I am writing this for several audiences. I am writing this for my family, friends, students, and anyone else who will one day make Aaliyah and wonder what goes on in the army.
I am going into a program called shlav gimmel. This is a program for new olim, age 22 and up. If there is reading this who is or will be making Aaliyah at such an age, this is the blog for you. In fact, one of the reasons I am writing this blog is that no one ever wrote down what goes on in shlav gimmel, so I have no idea what to expect. Maybe my blog will help the next guy better prepare for what is to come.
