The Accidental Zionist Vol 6: How I quit my life in America and joined the Israeli army

Jack Diamond is a young man living the good life in Los Angeles. He has money in his pocket, gas in his car and lots of drugs in his system. His life spins out of control as he becomes absorbed in the rave scene. What was once a harmless habit of smoking weed has turned into weekly two-day benders involving ecstasy, crystal meth and a veritable pharmacy of prescription medications.

His life spins out of control and is slammed with an arrest and several felony charges. Rescued by his parents, he is forced to drop out of school as he moves back to the suburbs to sober up.

Appearing to be, "scared straight," he heads back to Los Angeles nearly a year later to finish school and get on with life, only to fall into the same trap, yet again. Realizing that there may be deeper forces at work, he yearns for a way out.

At a chance meeting on campus, he has an unlikely encounter with a Chassidic rabbi who invites him to a weekly Shabbat dinner. Ethnically Jewish but otherwise nonpracticing, Jack meets an ex-IDF soldier. Upon hearing dramatic tales of military missions, he begins the journey necessary to immigrate to Israel.
