Meir Yaakobi Recounts a Full-Moon Night and the Order to Surrender
Published
Meir Yaakobi began a new life and changed his habits. He left his previous world in Jerusalem, where he wore the formal suit of Sephardi children, and began wearing the simple clothes of kibbutz life, including shoes without socks.
In the story he tells, Yaakobi recalls a full-moon night. That night, by his account, the other side had the advantage over his forces. He says that at a certain point he gave an order to surrender. The article does not detail all the particulars of the event, so it offers no complete description of the place, the date, or the outcome.
Yaakobi's story shows how a person can completely change his life, and how painful memories stay with him even after the change. He speaks about the decision he made that night directly, without hiding what happened.
The article presents this personal story as part of the memory of his generation. It notes that wartime decisions affect the people who fought them for many years after the event has ended.
