Tseva haganah le-Yiśraʾel -- Officers -- Biography.   Jews -- United States -- Biography.   Arab-Israeli conflict -- 1993- -- Personal narratives. ISBN:  9781953002242 (hardcover) : 1953002242 (hardcover) Description:  244 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "In his final college semester, Ben awakens to read on his computer screen of the death of his classmate and childhood friend Avi. Avi's death is sudden and senseless, killed by a drunk driver on his way back to his dorm. Here begins Ben's story of coming to terms with loss and finding his way to adulthood. In the fall of 2010, with his new degree in Moral Philosophy, Ben boards a plane to Israel to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Though Ben has never held a gun, before the next summer ends, he is a trained sharpshooter. His service takes him from the Negev Desert to the Occupied Territories and Gazan border, all while finding "home" at a southern kibbutz where he is adopted as a brother and son. From Providence, Rhode Island to California and at last to Israel where Ben joins Mahal, the special set of non-Israeli-born Jews who volunteer in the IDF, he finds family where never expected, a place of his own in the Israeli mosaic."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 296.092 Bastomski Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
