Smashwords Interview

The United States is not your native country. Where did you grow up?
I was born in Israel, in a kibbutz. It was a unique rural communal back then, hard farm labor during the day and a beehive of intellectual, political, and artistic activity during the evening and night. In general, the kibbutz was a society dedicated to social justice. It was a paradise as I was growing up. You can learn more about it by reading The Sweet Life, my Moment Magazine’s entry, which won its 2011 memoir contest. (You can find it in my literary website, HillelBridge.com) More than forty years after I left that small place, shortly after my army service had ended, it remains to this day the most significant experience of my life.
You mentioned your army service. Care to elaborate?
Army service in Israel is mandatory, and I was enlisted at age 19, after working for one year with inner city kids in the coastal city of Haifa. What can I tell you, I served for almost three years, as well as close to twenty-four years in reserve. I was a soldier first, then an officer in an elite paratroops reconnaissance unit. I’ve been to war, not once, and was wounded in battle. I left good friends behind, dead in the battlefield. Most probably, it was the second most significant experience of my life.
