Join us for a conversation with Yaron Zilberman, director and co-creator/co-writer of Valley of Tears, and actors Lee Biran (portrayed lone soldier Yoni Ben Dror) and Shahar Tavoch (portrayed Avinoam Shapiro) for a conversation about Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers of the Wars of Israel and Victims of Terrorism. Together, we will be discussing how this war shaped Israeli society, and what made it so meaningful to Israel’s history.

Valley of Tears is a 10-episode HBO Max drama series about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, following soldiers in different IDF units, and Israeli citizens from various backgrounds.
