Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier

The Alef-Bet family continued on their tour. On their way they saw a man in a dark green uniform sitting and waiting at a bus stop. The children were able to tell that the man was a Tzahal, IDF (Israeli Defense Force), soldier by his uniform. Uniforms are very helpful because they show us what kind of job a person has and then we can turn to them for help if we need to. Final Nun the Captain called out to Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier and offered to give him a ride home. Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier was so grateful and hopped right in to the van. Helpful Hay told Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier that he wished he could be in the army too. Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier told Helpful Hay that he doesn’t have to wait until he grows up. There is a special army that every Jewish girl and boy can join. It is called the army of Hashem! G-d is our commander-in-chief and when we follow His commands we can be sure that we will win over our enemy, the evil inclination, that little voice inside of us that tells us to misbehave. Helpful Hay asked what a soldier in the army of Hashem’s uniform would be. Tzaddik the Tzahal soldier explained that a Jewish boys uniform is a kippa and Tzizit and a Jewish girls uniform is her modest clothing which covers her elbows and knees. When we wear our Jewish uniforms, everyone can see that we are proud to be Jewish and to belong to the greatest army in the world, the army of Hashem!
