Everything happened in one day. One day in October.

All the stories take place within those twenty-four hours, in the same beautiful region. Once you start reading, you won’t be able to put the book down.
Unforgettable heroes. Unimaginable stories. Amidst the chaos and sorrow, these narratives offer readers a clear moment of comfort and hope.
Meet the Authors
Yair Agmon is an acclaimed Israeli author, film director, and columnist. He was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Hebrew Literary Works in 2022. This is his seventh book.
Oriya Mevorach is a bestselling author, lecturer on Judaism and philosophy, and editor-in-chief of Maggid Books’ Hebrew division. This is her second book.
Working from interview transcripts, Yair Agmon and Oriya Mevorach artfully crafted compelling first-person prose narratives. Using the interviewees’ own words in their authentic immediacy, these monologues gently touch on the darkness, the sadness, but also the light, the beauty, and the human grandeur that resonated on that day.
They aimed to tell the story of ordinary people who, on one tragic day, became heroes. All texts were reviewed and approved by the book’s heroes.
