“Artillery rained down on us like metal rain”

How did the boy  from Ness Ziona, who became a commander despite the fact that he was told that he was not fit for command,

how did he face, with a single tank, dozens of Syrian tanks sailing south to the Galilee.

As part of our monthly Friday lectures in Oz veGaon, Brigadier General (res.) and former minister Avigdor Kahalani gives a special online lecture in honor of the IDF’s Memorial Day,

on the Battle of the HaBaha Valley in the Yom Kippur War, a battle whose roots lie in the Six-Day War in which he was severely wounded after his tank was bombed.

Kahalani links the firm stand against the constant barrage of artillery by the Arab enemy to the standing of the Jewish people today in the struggle for independence.

The fascinating lecture is in Hebrew with English subtitles.

Shabbat Shalom,

Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar
