The purpose of that was to indicate to the Soviet Union that we could not accept any unilateral move on their part to move military forces into the Mideast."Įd Karrens: A United Nations peacekeeping force was sent to the trouble spot, and peace talks were scheduled before the year was through. When I received that information, I ordered shortly after midnight on Thursday morning a alert for all American forces around the world this is a precautionary alert. Nixon: "We obtained information which let us to believe that the Soviet Union was planning to send a very substantial force into the Mideast, a military force. The Arabs and Jews accepted the ceasefire, but the international community was startled when the United States placed its military forces on a worldwide precautionary alert. English: The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War or October War ( transliterated: arb October or, arb Tishrin), also known as the 1973. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger went to Moscow to confer with Soviet party leader Leonid Brezhnev, and the UN Security Council sponsored a resolution calling for a ceasefire.It was reported the resolution came about as a direct result of the Kissinger-Brezhnev talks. As in the '67 war, the United Nations and the two world powers, the United States and Russia, immediately responded to the conflict. The Jewish strategy was to make an all-out effort to regain the positions it had lost at the Suez Canal and at Golan Heights, the two places where the war had started. The first act is an act of treacherous aggression the second, perhaps more heinous, is the crime of mendacity."Įd Karrens: Israel was determined to hold the territory which it had won in the 1967 Six Day War. Minister Abba Eban: "The Governments of Egypt and Syria simultaneously and together have performed two acts so base and vile that it is hard to find words adequate to their infamy. This past week, on October 6th, marked the 48th anniversary of the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, one of the greatest threats to the State of Israel since.

Unknown Speaker: "Shalom Cavit, Shalom Cavit, Shalom Cavit."Įd Karrens: "Shalom Cavit, Shalom Cavit", a Hebrew code phrase which was a signal for troops to prepare for war. Most heard the news over a radio program, which was interrupted. Jews throughout the world were observing this sacred day of religious commitment but in Israel, the day was shattered by the news that war between the Jews and Arabs once again had begun. Writing on October 23rd, 1973, just two days before it officially came to an end, Rabbi Shuchat offered three conclusions to be drawn from the War as Israel, the Jewish Diaspora, and the world moves forward, the third of which is a resounding and heartfelt declaration of the bond between Israel and the Diaspora as one Jewish people.Ed Karrens: It was the afternoon of October the 6th, the Jewish Holy Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. “For the past two weeks I have been living in the very center of those dramatic events that will determine Jewish history for the future and will certainly have a momentous effect upon the course of the world.” The words Rabbi Shuchat wrote in his messages to the Congregation as the Yom Kippur War progressed deeply reflect the severity of the situation, while also foreseeing its lasting impact and significance. Though Rabbi Shuchat returned to Montreal for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, he went back to an Israel embroiled in war. Rabbi Shuchat was honoured with a sabbatical soon after celebrating 25 years with Shaar Hashomayim and went with his family to spend the year (from July 1973 through the summer of 1974) in Jerusalem. There to bear witness to the conflict was none other than Rabbi Shuchat, who wrote back messages to the Congregation as it unfolded (full letters at the end). This past week, on October 6 th, marked the 48th anniversary of the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, one of the greatest threats to the State of Israel since its independence in 1948. “Yom Kippur will never be the same again,” begins a message written by Rabbi Wilfred Shuchat in 1973.
