Lone Soldier Galore

This week has probably been the busiest week in Moishe House Tel Aviv’s history. We have seen about 20 different lone soldiers, representing France, Canada, Scotland, England, and the U.S. Many times soldiers leave directly from the Moishe House where they have been relaxing as civilians, and go directly to their bases on the borders or even inside of ‘enemy territory’. While they are probably used to the stark contrast that may come from morning to afternoon on any given day, it has been strange knowing that a guy sitting on my couch in the morning may be facing or letting off shots that very afternoon. It is nice to give them a real break from the stresses of being a soldier in such a tense situation.

On another note, we went to Bethlehem for Christmas day and saw the beautiful city and all the tourists from all over the world. We made a video that you can check out here...
