On Rosh Hashana,

it is written and on the day of the fast of Kippur it is sealed...Who shall live and who shall die...who by water and who by fire, who by the sword....(Yom Kippur prayer book). Thirty Eight years to the Yom Kippur war.The Syrians and Egyptians Attempted to Destroy The Jewish state, and although having Success early on, The Israelis rebounded to have their Tanks on there way to Damascus and Cairo. The "Brave and great " people of Egypt still think they won the war, they may have covered the spread, But we all know how the war ended With there whole Third Army Surrounded, and begging like dogs to be taken prisoner so they can eat and drink. A heavy price was paid, almost 2700 dead, an unacceptable figure. After getting Bashed by The Agranat Commission. It was nice to Read that Chief of Staff  David "Dado" Elazar was Vindicated, and credited for managing a brilliant war, at least his family lived to see that, as he died a couple years after the war many say of a broken Heart..............
