Community Learning @ The Well Presents

Women on the Front Lines: Inside the Combat Units of the Israeli Army

Book Tour with Author & Photographer Debbie Zimelman

Contact lrappaport@bethelsynagogue.org for Zoom link

The Women on the Front Lines Virtual Book Tour offers a unique opportunity to learn about the remarkable young women who protect the State of Israel—both through the eyes of a professional photographer and the first-hand experiences of a female combat soldier. The only book to explore the lives of women who serve in the combat units of the Israeli army, it is the culmination of five years of  work photographing and interviewing soldiers in twenty Israeli army units. Through color photography and the soldiers’ own words, the book offers a glimpse into the experiences, fears, challenges, and accomplishments of these brave young women.

This program generously underwritten by the Richard Kelber and Sharon Van Dyck Education Fund
