Title: The Yom Kippur War : Israel's day of judgement 1973
Post by: muman613 on September 02, 2013, 08:46:19 PM

We are entering the week of trembling, the week of Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur.

In 1973 Israel was attacked by arab armies and rose to repel the invaders. This video recalls the events of those days.

May we always have Hashem with us, to assist us in our battles, and to remove our obstacles.

I don't like how it gloifies the piece agreement with Egypt. Israel could have literally stretched from the Nile to the Euphrates. The Jewish People are compared to the Moon. Israel has waned since reaching its peak during the Yom Kippur War. Just like the Jewish Kingdom waned after King Solomon built the Temple.

I can't believe that it's been 40 years already.  I remember that my father went to shul for services and told people that Israel was being attacked by Egypt.  The people there were shocked and the rabbi asked everyone to say a prayer for the Iseralis.
