As we celebrate Hanukkah, historian and thinker Gil Troy calls on us to recognize Israel’s wartime heroes — and the Israelis who honor them by living heroic lives
Gil - The popularity of songs like גיבורי על by Hatikvah 6 (https://youtu.be/aYGd4HOend4?si=lZ4ii44aKT2hDpB3), and מולדת by Hanan Ben Ari (https://youtu.be/MZHU0MfZAMw?si=oYsq5Hh2DFYnfY2x) shows that there is a fair bit of internal recognition in Israeli society of the every day heroes.
Don’t forget to add to the list בעקבי הדרך about the Yom Kippur War on the Golan Heights.
Many outstanding renditions including a recent YouTube one by the IDF, or the original
