Eylon Levy

Volunteering with Sar-El

A supreme advocate for Israel Eylon Levy tells us in no uncertain terms about how the United Nations mistreats Israel, explains how UNRWA is not fit for purpose and denounces the Australian government's failure to support Israel. At the ripe old age of 33 Eylon Levy is the head of the Israeli Citizen Spokespersons' Office.(0:33-25:33)

I speak with three volunteers Ester Silver, Evelyn Flitman and Julian Warne, who have recently served with Sar-El, which offers prospective volunteers an opportunity to live and work on IDF bases to gain an insider view of Israel. Volunteers work alongside soldiers, base employees, and other volunteers, performing non-combat support duties such as packing medical supplies, checking and repairing machinery and equipment; as well as cleaning, painting, and maintaining bases. (25:40-55:07)
