The Story of
Dror Kendelstein
Photographed with Naftali Bennett
Served from 2001 to 2004 as a patrol team sergeant in the IDF's Combat Engineering Unit.
"I was very seriously injured, sedated and ventilated for eight months, and then rehabilitated in a hospital for three years. My rehabilitation continues to this very day.
My rehabilitation is difficult and frustrating. I almost gave up and yet still continue. Today I lecture with the goal of inspiring wounded soldiers. The title of my lecture is 'Never give up on life.'
I had to learn everything from the start during my rehabilitation, from blowing out a candle to standing on my feet. I was able to return both to work and to married life. In the lowest place, a person must show courage and not give up on himself."
