Some stories are worth their weight in gold. This one rates several gold stars.

Firstly, being a contributing op-ed writer to The Jewish Press, I always check on their news and views, and this story resonates to my core. Secondly, I tune into Malkah Fleisher’s radio show, featured at Israel National News/Arutz7 (another site I contribute to) on a regular basis.

But most inherently, I am of like-mind with this Texas born and raised lioness of Zion (as opposed to where I hail from, the loony east/left coast in the heart of NYC). She is my Zionist sister, in the truest sense of the word. Due to the above, I hereby nominate her as the pin-up/poster woman that all Jewish girls-whatever their ages-should strive to emulate, regardless whether they are traditionally religious (like Malkah) or not.

Read this, http://www.jewishpress.com/news/on-the-anniversary-of-entebbe-malkah-is-home-on-the-range/2012/07/04/, then tell me if you think she makes her mark too!

You go, girl…….shoot off a few rounds in my name, next time you hit the range!

And, by the bye, my ‘blood brother’ and best friend in Israel, Tsafrir Ronen, z”l (of blessed memory…he is sorely missed….most especially during trying times ) was part of the force which stormed Entebbe, having operated under Yoni Netanyahu’s command as a Sayeret Matkal (General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) commando. Here’s my op-ed in his memory ‘Israel’s Hero, My Hero’–http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/8469. Therefore, Malkah’s article, in honor of the anniversary of Entebbe, strikes a very personal chord too.
