joining the IDF (israel defense forces)??

Question

hi!
to anyone who has volunteered for the IDF from abroad, i have some issues here. please help me.
ok, i am a college student 18 years old. i would like to serve but seriously, i don't know what consequences it will bring from interrupting school. what happens when i stop school and go to israel -can i come back and continue my studies? when should i go so that it could LEAST interfere with my studies? that is problem number 1-school! but also, my other question is, i heard that girls cannot volunteer over the age of 20. is this true-can i go later, say, mid 20's?? i would be more stable than now i find, being older, etc. (not that israelis have that chance lol). so ya pretty much that is it. hope you can help me. it's a big life decision and i want to make it memorable if indeed i do end up going. oh, now i remember. last question, if i don;t actually serve, can i graduate from college here (canada),complete my studies and go to israel's army and use my profession in the army? (psych

to continue the sentence (no space there) i wanted to say, if i become a forensic psychologist let's say which i want to, can i work in the army as one, REGARDLESS OF the age limit? thanks so MUCH!

Answer 1

I suggest you contact the people most likely to have the correct information:

Answer 2

What county are you from and why would you want to sever in the military of a foreign power?

If you are an American some including myself would consider that treason. If you want to serve the Israelis then move to Israel and renounce your American Citizenship.

Answer 3

it would seem that you would want to stay in your own country and serve, that is unless you are Zionist, and then I understand as they are strictly for Israel, and the country that sired them is secondary if that. if that is the case please go now and take the rest of the Zionist with you,
