Valley of Tears: An Intimate Look at the 1973 War

Presented by the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center. On Yom Kippur, 1973, Israelis’ illusions of near-invincibility shattered as Egyptian and Syrian troops crossed their borders in a lightning strike that left Israel in danger of destruction. Valley of Tears, an Israeli miniseries, is reopening those old wounds, providing a kind of national therapy – and breaking all Israeli viewing records. Join the series’ co-creators and stars for clips from the full season and a discussion of the arduous task of revisiting such painful memories, the series’ impact and what they hope it will accomplish.
