Outstanding Program, Outstanding Soldiers

Eva Daum's parents came specially from Belgium for the ceremony

It has become routine for soldiers in the
Hadas Women’s Hesder Program, which combines Torah studies with
service in the Israeli Defense Forces, to collect the army's coveted
excellence awards, and recent ceremonies were no exception. On Yom
Ha’atzmaut, “Outstanding Soldier” awards were bestowed by the
Intelligence Corps on Neveh Channah High School graduate Miriam
Adams, Roni Verman, and ‘lone soldiers’ Hadas Shambandel of Germany
and Eva Daum of Belgium.
Meanwhile, Kinneret Kum was one of only 50 IDF officers
to be honored with the prestigious Chief of General Staff Award in May. “Our
soldiers consistently distinguish themselves,” reports Rabbi Ohad Tehar-Lev,
the program's director. “They exude maturity and idealism and serve as true
role models for everyone around them.”
