My Sar El experience could not have been better than it was. We were a small group of 9 close in age, give or take 10 years, and all on the same page vis a vis Israel and our feelings about it. The base we were on was new, clean, with many comforts we are used to and appreciated like A/C, and hot water.
Our madrichot were wonderful, very accommodating and friendly, providing great programs in the evening. The fact that it was a combat base made it interesting for those interested in guns and learning about handling them. The work was not too demanding, but we did feel that what we did was useful for the soldiers and very appreciated.
I would love to do Sar El again but know that there is only one first time and I would always be comparing the next experience to this one, which as I said, was wonderful. I keep reflecting back on it, and feel so lucky to have had this time there.
I am encouraging others to do it or at least to find out more about it.
Thank you for this exceptional experience in Israel
