When I went to Israel
Went last summer with my family
My cousin Jack found a place on the internet called Caliber 3
and insisted that we had to visit
Israel was an amazing experience
Most meaningful part of the trip that changed my views

Why I’m here
To explain to all of you what life in Israel is really like
To allow you all the privilege of meeting an IDF solider
To hear his stories
To spread the important message that I learned at Caliber 3

Caliber 3
It is a counter-terrorism academy for the IDF in the West Bank
My first thought when I arrived
What we did there
My final thoughts
Our instructor Steve and his story
6. + Steve’s Message
The main part of my Caliber 3 experience was the message
Steve gave to us
He wanted to show us what it is like to live in a place that is
constantly at risk of terrorism
He also wanted us to show us that the IDF is not how they are
portrayed by the media
Finally, he asked us to spread these messages in our home
communities
