Yom Hazikaron: The Gate of the Valley

9 min • 8 maj 2019

Yesterday and today we commemorate Yom Hazikaron —Memorial Day— in Israel.

In 1948 the poet Haim Gouri fought as a deputy company commander in the Palmach Negev Brigade and wrote a poem commemorating the fighters who accompanied the convoys and fell at Bab el Wad.

We read from it on today's episode.
