On Friday, Oct. 6, my younger sister, Keren, turned 50.
She was born on the first day of the Yom Kippur War, Israel’s fifth war since it was founded in 1948.
I was two years old when that war broke out, and on that day my father, like all the other men, was called to the army.
I was left with a neighbor while my mother went alone to the hospital to give birth to my sister.
I don’t remember much from that war, except for my mother returning with my baby sister.
