Shlomo Carlebach – Story of an Israeli Army Soldier during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 “Shema Yisrael”

This video features the legendary Shlomo Carlebach singing-telling a story of belief in G-d that occurred during the attack on Israel and the Jewish People. The Arabs attacked from Israel’s southern and northern borders on the Yom Kippur holiday – the holiest day of the year. The images from the Yom Kippur War create a very powerful background to the story. Ultimately, the Israeli Army won a smashing victory against it’s enemies, but at a great cost of life to the young fledgling Jewish State.
