Esti Ginzburg: IDF service a must
Israeli model has no trouble combining national duty with international modeling and acting career. Listen to what she has to say to fellow supermodel Bar Refaeli, who skipped out on mandatory army service
As opposed to other models and actresses her age, Private Esti Ginzburg had not hesitations at all about serving in the Israel Defense Forces. In fact, Ginzburg believes in military service so much, that as part of her role at the IDF reception base she explains to young recruits why it is so important to join the army.

In Yedioth Ahronoth interview, Israeli model Bar Refaeli slams Israel, announces move to Los Angeles, says has no regrets regarding dodging army service
"In order to contribute and help, in order to be part of the State," Ginzburg said, "enlisting is a duty, not a choice. There are a million of things I don't feel like doing, but I do them because I have to. Military service is part of the things I believe in, the values I was raised on."

And what else is Esti Ginzburg doing, apart from putting on her uniform and marching to the Tel Hashomer base? Quite a lot, it seems. She has been starring in Tag Woman's fashion campaign for the third year in a row, is photographed for magazines and ads across the globe, and will soon visit India for her second Sports Illustrated photo shoot.
Ginzburg is also pursuing her acting career, and will soon take part in director Joel Schumacher's 'Twelve', alongside young American actor Chace Crawford.
By the way, despite the rumors, Ginzburg insists that she and Crawford are just friends. So the bottom line is that she is still single and available.
