El Al to get its first female Haredi pilot
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn ultra-Orthodox mother of three from Beit Shemesh has been accepted into the pilot’s course of El Al, Israel’s national flag carrier.
“Nehama,” 30, received her pilot’s license a decade ago in the US, but was initially rejected by El Al because she did not have enough flight hours, according to a report in Shemesh Net.
She spent her summers in the United States accumulating enough flight time to be accepted into the course.
