Friends of IDF are bringing soldiers from the Israeli army to schools to educate children about what our chayalim do for our country. Captain Yaniv Avraham grew up on a kibbutz near Yerushalayim and is now part of a select group of soldiers that tries to free hostages. He spoke with third, fourth, seventh and eighth grade students about his high level of training, presented videos about the training and about combat, and held a question and answer period.
After we were slaves in Egypt, Paro finally let us go. We took matzah, wagons, sheep, and maybe camels.The Jews had a cloud in the back and a cloud in the front so they would be safe, and know where to go through the desert.
