Gal Rubin's 115,<> followers on the social network Instagram received a particularly open conversation from her on Sunday night, in which she shared candidly and honestly her experience in the complex but rapid process she underwent from ultra-Orthodox to secular women.

"Are you sorry you didn't do the army? Does it matter to your life today?", we were curious to know how Robin felt about not serving in the IDF.

But all for the best. I just think you better not give it up."
