Identical twin sisters from the US, Rachel & Yarden Paul move to Israel, and join the IDF through the Garin Tzabar program.
Yarden Paul: ‘Our friends who went on to university don’t understand why we chose to come to Israel & join the IDF. They think it’s too dangerous.’
Nine months ago, 19-year-old identical twin sisters Yarden and Rachel Paul made the decision to leave their comfortable lives in Miami, move to Israel and join the army.
They made the move with the Garin Tzabar program, a joint initiative of the kibbutz movement, the Israeli Scouts and the Immigrant Absorption Ministry.
