Description

Why did Menachem Begin as part of the emergency cabinet propose that the chief rabbi blow the shofar at the Kotel should it be recaptured? Why did Rav Goren, the Chief Rabbi of the IDF, happily agree with this suggestion? (Hint: Rav Goren was among the most fervent believers in saying Hallel to recognize the miracle of Israel’s rebirth).
