Black and white: Shloimi, a young man from an ultra-Orthodox family, enlisted in the Rotem Company in the Givati ​​Brigade. Last week, he received surprising support from his family, when his parents came especially to the company's swearing-in ceremony, with a cake. "These are exemplary parents who support their child and give him strength, and who knows, maybe in the end he'll go back to school," says one of his friends. His grandparents, residents of the Neve Yaakov neighborhood, also came to hug their grandson. His grandfather, by the way, has been a well-known police officer in Jerusalem for decades.
