This Tuesday, the entire school assembled in the Multi-Purpose Room for a screening of Beneath the Helmet. Watching soldiers who are only a year older than myself be drafted into the army, and seeing their experiences was truly inspiring. After the movie finished, Lt. Aviv Regev, who commanded 120 soldiers including those featured in the movie, addressed the school in a conversation about the movie and the army in general. He spoke about the camaraderie felt in the IDF despite its incredible diversity. Afterwards, I approached Lt. Aviv, asked a question of my own, and we had a thought-provoking discussion. The program was really memorable. Thank you to Jonny Lipczer and Bnei Akiva of Toronto for arranging the program.
