Esti Ginzburg: Supermodel, IDF Soldier

Followers of Israeli beauties are generally more familiar with Bar Rafaeli, the cover girl from last years SI. Rafaeli chose to skip out on army service and raised a controversy when she married and divorced a family friend to take advantage of a rare exemption from the army.

Esti felt differently. "Enlisting is a duty, not a choice. There are a million of things I don't feel like doing, but I do them because I have to. Military service is part of the things I believe in, the values I was raised on."

The 19 year old is a cover girl for Israeli fashion company Fox and a model for Israel based Castro. She has also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry, and was on the cover of French ELLE. She can be found at the Tel HaShomer base, her family's home in Tel Aviv, or at an exotic location photo shoot.
