On October 7, 2023, thousands of terrorists crossed into Israel in a brutal attack that claimed the lives of 1,200 people and changed the country forever. One Day in October, co-authored by Yair Agmon and Oriya Mevorach, bears witness to that day through forty accounts of extraordinary courage, told by those who risked everything to protect others. From a midwife who turned her home into a field hospital, to an 85-year-old man who acted as a decoy to save his family, to an 8-year-old survivor from Kibbutz Be’eri – the book features testimonies of bravery and strength in the face of terror. These are the stories of Jews and Arabs, young and old, religious and secular.

This bestselling collection is not only a record of trauma, but of shared humanity in the face of terror. Join us for a conversation with co-author, Oriya Mevorach.
