After reading my article calling for more depth and meaning in the life of the Israeli model, Bar Refaeli joins water-saving campaign.

Israeli super-model Bar Refaeli, who recently landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, will soon lend her face to a new Israel Water Authority campaign aimed at raising Israelis' awareness to the water crisis in the country.

Yedioth Ahronoth recently learned that Refaeli has agreed to participate in a campaign set to be released this summer that will urge people to save water.

Since the campaign is being produced by a public body, the international beauty agreed to a modest pay of only several tens of thousands of shekels, a fraction of her usual salary in the industry.

Refaeli's casting is the latest in a series of moves carried out by the Water Authority to recruit Israeli celebrities to efforts to educate the Israeli public on the dire situation of the water economy in the country.

The authority's previous TV campaign, under the slogan "Israel is drying up" and starring actress Renana Raz, has led to a significant reduction in water consumption in only a few months.

Well, good for her. She will probably start promoting Jewish identity soon, as per my suggestion.
And on the same topic here is a truly beautiful email:

Dear Yishai,
 
Today while listening to a description of our beloved Esther during Malkahs radio program on Purim  i reflected for a moment on your mention of Bar Raheli. I think maybe one day her Physical beauty might lead  her to reach the potential of our heroine Esther.Right now it appears more like that of Vashti. I recall another  daughter of Israel also a fashion model whom was born two decades earlier, actually just a few weeks prior to the 67 war. She graced the covers of virtually every Israeli magazine. Her beauty was pictured on billboards thru-out the country consumer products had and sold her image.
 
EL-AL Israeli airlines posed her on their Milk and Honey Brochure welcoming travelers and tourists to Israel. She also appeared in  European Capitols and then America.The beaches and glamour community of Miami South beach was her last stop This is where the similarities ended. She never glossed the cold steel of an International Air Carrier. She never completed her flourishing modeling career.
 
She simply returned to Israel completed her 3 year military service with the Israeli Air force got married,  and had 7 beautiful Torah loving children..Counted  among  other mitzvot she can be found  late at night or in the early mornings quietly helping  through political advocacy or through  the nefesh b nefesh digest  current or potential olim with mundane or difficult issues.
 
She is  Esther.  She is an Eishet Chayal, she is my wife.
