I imagine most mothers would prefer their children to have five month tours of duty.<br /><br />I did click on the link for the story about the volunteers in uniform. It was beautiful.<br /><br />Just a snippet for those who didn't click on the link, the end of the article states:<br /><br />"The voice of Cpt. Nadav takes a paternal hue when he speaks of his soldier. “As a commander, I was concerned about awkward interactions, and indeed there were such, though they are an insignificant footnote in comparison with his success. It is both an educational and ethical triumph,” he says. “Today, Reuven has a Facebook profile, and he chats online with our first sergeant. He learned to speak on the phone and to initiate conversation. From time to time, I catch him playing board games with the other soldiers, who treat him as one of their own.”Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-51555020687950469882011-03-30T21:35:11.160+02:002011-03-30T21:35:11.160+02:00thanks, Shy, fixed it.

"Volunteer in uniform" is Nation...Shalom!<br />"Volunteer in uniform" is National Service for men. Some of the men in it are sick and tired of euphemisms. I read an article/interview featuring a apartment full of men, from a variety of backgrounds: religious w/physical exemption from the army, secular pacifist etc. They do similar work to what the young woman have traditionally done and are very much welcomed by places like yeshivot that would rather have a ben sherut than a bat sherut. I imagine that some hospitalized men would prefer to be assisted by a young man than a young woman.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-92094224155490985372011-03-30T09:23:37.022+02:002011-03-30T09:23:37.022+02:00Hesder is a 5 year - not 5 month - program. :)Hesder is a 5 year - not 5 month - program. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
