Osnat is a 20-year-old native Israeli from a religious family. Shortly after joining the army, she became pregnant. Both her boy friend and the army encouraged her to have an abortion. However, because of her religious background, she knew that this was life and that she could not take it.

After her father learned of her pregnancy, he threw her out of his home. She went to live with friends. The army released her when she reached her fourth month (The army offers free abortions and waited for four months expecting her to abort).

She sought help from Be’ad Chaim, where she received counseling, encouragement, and help during her pregnancy. Her baby boy, “Roey” (my shepherd) was born in January, 2008.

She now receives help from Operation Moses, and her father has allowed her to come back home. God honored her faithfulness!
