Tell us about your family: I'm married to my wife Charna. Profession: Aside from serving in the IDF, I am a First Year student for business at Machon Lev, and Av Bayit at Yeshivat Darkaynu (a special needs yeshiva at Gush). Where are you serving in the IDF and in which Unit: Battalion 8132 under the Etzion Brigade. What gives you chizuk during your army service: Seeing all of Am Yisrael coming together to fight and serve Hashem was really inspiring, whether it was a Chareidi handing out Erev Shabbat cholent on base, or an irreligious soldier asking us how to daven or put on tefilin. Share a few fond memories of your time at the Yeshiva: Experiencing people of different backgrounds come together and having a great time. Anything else you want to share: To all those who reached out - thank you! Your words of inspiration and encouragement really helped! See you here soon!
