O

n Yom HaZikaron, this year on May 11, we stand with Israel in remem-
brance of soldiers who have fallen in battle or in acts of terror. It is also
a time to reflect with pride on Jewish Detroit’s own Lone Soldiers —
sons and daughters of our community — who bravely have chosen to protect and
defend Israel with their young lives. We thank them for their service and pray for
their safe return to their families.
Last year, they were students carrying book bags. This year, they are Israeli
soldiers carrying the responsibility of defending our Jewish State. What steely
resolve does it take to endure grueling training in the desert, to learn the
vocabulary of artillery in Hebrew, to become soldiers among the elite in the
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)? Through their parents’ eyes and words, we meet
four extraordinary young men and women who have chosen to challenge mind,
body and spirit as volunteer soldiers in Israel. As Lone Soldiers — the IDF term
for recruits from abroad and without family in Israel — they serve shoulder-to-
shoulder with native Israelis to keep Israel safe.

AGE 21
WEST BLOOMFIELD
STARTED HIS SERVICE IN
NOVEMBER 2014

Shimmy attended Akiva Hebrew Day
until the 10th grade, then contin-
ued his education at Oakland Early
College. Compelled to serve at an early
age, he moved to Israel to spend a gap
year on a kibbutz in 2013, then joined
the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) the fol-
lowing year.
Trained as a sniper in the Givati
Brigade — an infantry unit of the
IDF that serves as its amphibi-
ous force (designated by its purple
berets), Shimmy has spent much of
the last seven months in Israel’s “hot
spots.” When his enlistment ends in
December 2016, he plans to make

aliyah and finish his bachelor’s degree
in criminology at Bar-Ilan University
in Tel Aviv with the goal of completing
a master’s in counter-terrorism at the
IDC Herziliya.
As his mother, Shaindle Braunstein,
describes, “When Shimmy told us that
he was intending to serve in Israel, our
first reaction was just immense pride.
We raised our children to love Israel
and they have had opportunities to
visit and to study in Israel, so we felt
he clearly had understood that mes-
sage.
“Of course, at the time he made his
decision, his service was fairly theo-
retical to us. The hard part for us now
is knowing that his job puts him in
danger every day. It is a comfort to us
to realize that he is actively defending
the Jewish state and his people, and we
just feel tremendously privileged to be
his parents.”
