Ayala Rolub made history last year when she became the first woman voted onto the council of the Israel Garage Association, the official representative of all Israeli garages and their employees since 1942. Ms. Rolub might soon be joined by two 11th-grade AMIT students at the Elaine Silver Technological High School in the Negev city of Beersheva, who also made history by becoming the first two female students—including the first Ethiopian girl ever—to enroll in the vocational school’s automotive electronics track. “Everyone says that this is men’s work, but we wanted to show that it’s not only for men,” said Malka Rata, one of the girls. “We’re not like girls who go into a garage and get oil on their hands and say, ‘Ew, that’s gross.’ We come from a different world.”
