"[They] learned through the wisdom and the pain of silence that a mind without a heart is nothing." ~ From The Chosen by Chaim Potok
- "They asked me first to go to Tel Hashomer where the IDF database is located to check my profile. Then they sent me a list of groups in the army to choose which one I want to go to. They called the list 'Manila'. Then they summoned me for another meeting again in Tel Hashomer, after which they gave me my first assignment. I was assigned in Hatevat Hanachal group as a sniper and became the radioman of our team later on until I finished my service. I was assigned in different places of the battlegrounds like in Mt. Hermon bordering Syria and Israel, and in Gaza bordering Israel and Egypt." ~ David
- "I learned to be alone and become independent because I am away from my parents and nobody will take care of me but only my own self." ~ Leovemin, IDF Intelligence department
- "I have requested and was assigned in the Navy force in Eilat. It was what I really wanted. I became more independent. It became helpful and very important just like now I am working in the airport as a Passenger Service of QAS (Quality Airport Service). Because of my service in the army, they trusted me to work in the airport for the security of the country." ~ Miriam
