Izzy in the Israel Defense Forces, 1983-1986
THIS IS A REAL PICTURE - NOT STAGED!!! Taken either in Sept. 1984 or 1985, while Izzy was serving in the IDF Rabbinical Army Band, at a joint performance with the IDF's official orchestra, at one of the army bases in Israel. In the picture, seated, is the IDF official marching and ceremonial orchestra; on the far right is IDF Chief Rabbi, Major General Gad Navon, giving a speech. In the center is a sign that reads "Welcome to the Revival Tour” (literally, “welcome to the wake up journey"!) i.e., before the High Holidays.
