When he's on reserve duty he serves as commander of the Negev patrol unit, but Avi Friedman's soldiers already know that their tough regiment commander is a champion in modeling clay. After completing his studies at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Friedman put his real love aside, but it was the army which re-evoked his passion for plasticine. Friedman recently released a prayer book for children, aimed at giving the young generation visiting the synagogue of feeling of belonging. "I hope that when I am judged by God, after I will pass from this world, the children's prayers will help me go in the right direction," he says.
