Great reading! From a very pro-Israel American gentile. Watch Either ILTV, Israel 24, Israel 7 with Jonathon Henson, or some JNS podcasts such as Carolyn Glick or Ruthy Bloom every day. Read about Sarit and Alma in some of my books and have also seen Sarit interviewed especially before cease fire with Hezbollah. I’d like to see an opinion piece on Hasidim not having to join military. I have a very strong opinion on that but would like to know Israeli thoughts. Thanks
Shalom, Dear Sarit Zehavi.
