[ha-Safran]: NEW BOOK FOR ISRAEL'S 60th: Army Fatigues
Dear Friends, Devora Publishing has new titles with themes that are perfect for celebrating the upcoming 60th birthday of Israel. More will be coming soon! SPENDING A VACATION WITH THE ISRAELI ARMY? How an American Corporate Lawyer Found Himself Volunteering on IDF Base A wonderful adventure story Everyone who cares about Israel's survival as a democratic Jewish state...will benefit from reading this well-written diary of Werner's fascinating experience. - Alan Dershowitz Werner is a born storyteller...Army Fatigues is a continually insightful and compelling tale of a man who set out to do good ... and set out to have an adventure ... and succeeded. - Rabbi Joseph Telushkin Why do thousands of people from around the world volunteer to work on Israeli military bases? Why would they give up their vacation time and pay their way to and from Israel in order to work very hard in less than luxurious surroundings? In Army Fatigues: Joining Israel's Army of International Volunteers (Devora Publishing, March, 2008) readers meet Mark Werner, a successful American lawyer and son of a Holocaust survivor, who grew up with a strong feeling of connection with Israel. With the breakdown of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and the outbreak of the second Intifada in 2000 and suicide bomber attacks on Israeli civilians, Werner decided to support Israel in a more personal way than simply following the news or writing a check. Werner chose a program called Sar-el, Volunteers for Israel, which places volunteers from all over the world on Israeli military bases. The workforce provided by the Sar-el volunteers frees up Israeli soldiers and makes an important contribution to the Israeli army. Using his vacation time, Werner worked on an Israeli military base side by side with Israeli soldiers and other volunteers. He found the experience so rewarding that he returned for three more stints. Army Fatigues chronicles his volunteer experience on different army and navy bases over four consecutive years during some of the most stressful times in Israel s recent history -- the second Intifada, the building of the security fence, and the pull-out from Gaza. It focuses on the everyday lives of Israeli soldiers and civilians, offering an insider's view of Israel's armed forces, as well as a portrait of a democratic society structured on self-defense. The author also explores the motivations of his fellow volunteers, for whom volunteering is often part of a personal journey. Above all, this is the ongoing story of a middle-aged American white collar professional stepping out of his comfort zone to make a meaningful contribution to Israel and forge his own connections to it. About the author: Mark Werner is an attorney in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he lives with his wife Arlene. A graduate of Haverford College and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, he is active in UJC (United Jewish Communities) and AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). He continues to volunteer with Sar-el.
