Act Out 22

At the Recruiting Office – part 1

Daniel: Hello, I’m Daniel Levy.

Interviewer: Hello Daniel. Come, sit.

Daniel: Thank you.

Interviewer: You’re welcome. Daniel, I want to hear a little (about)

who you are, what you want to do in the army, and why

Daniel: you want to enlist. All right.
(That’s) perfectly all right.

Interviewer: You only say the truth. There are no right or wrong

answers, understand?

Daniel: I understand.

Interviewer: Great. Daniel, I understand you’re a new immigrant.

When did you come on aliyah?

Daniel: A month ago.

Interviewer: Why did you come on aliyah?

Daniel: Every year my family visits in Israel. All year long I think

about Israel and wait for this visit. At the end of the visit,
I don’t want to return to America. I feel that I’m going

[traveling] to America, but my heart is staying here, in

Israel. I love Jerusalem, I love [the] Israeli culture, I love

speaking in Hebrew. I feel that Israel is the place for me

[my place].
Interviewer: Ohh… I see. You know it’s not easy to live in Israel,

right?

Daniel: Of course I know. My parents, my brothers and all my

friends live in New York. My job is in New York, and
here in Israel I’m out of a job [I don’t have work].
Sometimes [the] Israelis speak fast and I don’t understand
anything. And the bureaucracy… oh, the bureaucracy.

Interviewer: And the terror (attacks).

Daniel: Yeah, I know. Life in Israel is no picnic. But I told you:

This is the place for me.
