Impact of reservists - Eric Guth 4Z1UG

On October 8th, over 300,000 IDF reserve soldiers were called into active duty.  Over 120% of the those called showed up from not only Israel proper, but from where ever they happen to be in the World at that moment.  El Al Airlines was running over capacity to return Israelis home to battle Hamas in Gaza.  Every reservist comes from every corner of Israeli society.  In my own circle, dozens of neighbors, friends, co-workers, store employees, etcetera, were suddenly gone to war.  

This story and its impact on Israeli society is told extremely well by Wendy Singer, the sister of Dan Senor,  host of the Call Me Back podcast, one of the many podcasts that I listen to regularly.  She has a different vantage point from mine to tell her story.
