Gila Isaacson

Gila Isaacson is the proud Israeli mother of five sons who've grown from energetic boys into remarkable young men, including a warrior in the IDF who makes her heart swell with pride. When she's not following her sons' latest adventures, she's pursuing her passion for journalism at Jfeed, where she continues to tell the stories that matter. The midnight chases may have ended, but the pride and love only grow stronger.
