Uri Asher, a 29-year-old reserve soldier who lost his leg fighting in the north, has become engaged to his girlfriend, Shani. Asher, a resident of Kedumim, was severely injured three years ago during the Swords of Iron War when the tank he was fighting in on the Lebanese border was hit by an anti-tank missile. Since his injury, he has undergone rehabilitation, entered the startup world, and recently shared his experiences on the podcast "Let's Talk About Dates." He spoke with host Simcha Berns about dating as an amputee, candidly discussing how his dating life changed after his injury, stating "not too much." It now appears his last date led to a proposal, as he is now engaged to his chosen bride, Shani.
