Hi Benzi,

Do you know anything about a form of military-style training apparently provided by the IDF to young Jewish adults / teenagers that provides a military type of experience. I have been provided two names – Marva and Gadna. 

 

Apparently a number of Australian kids attend these training sessions, so keen to understand if they are run by the IDF and if so what sort of training they cover.

 

Regards
