About the Sar-EI volunteers
For three weeks in February,
Paul Kessler served as a volunteer
in the Sar-EI program. Sar-EI vol-
unteers work on IDF bases per-
forming various duties, freeing IDF
soldiers to spend time on military-
related training and duties. Since
its inception in the 1980s, 140,000
volunteers from about 40 coun-
tries have volunteered with Sar-EI.
About 65 percent are Jews and 35
percent, Christians. They contrib-
ute 400,000 net hours of work per
year, saving Israel millions of dol-
lars annually.
The rewards are contributing
more than money: actually doing
something to help Israel, meeting
and making lifelong friends from
around the world, working with
and meeting great young soldiers
and people of Israel, and heartfelt
thanks from Israelis one meets.
Anyone wanting more infor-
mation, feel free to contact Paul at
