Im Atem Korim Et Hamilim Haeleh Hebrew [Paperback]

What does a person write in a letter they hope no one will ever read? Last words are unlike anything else a person writes in their life, and they're unlike anything you've ever read. They carry dark humor, inside jokes, searing honesty, burning love, the fear of death, and blinding courage. There's drama, and also an escape from dramatics, misspellings, apologies, gratitude, and even practical instructions for the day after. They hold requests that can only be made a moment before the end, and things we dare to say for the first time only when it's the last opportunity. All the heroes in this book fell in battle, yet this book is full of life. It's not about their deaths, but about what they had to say to life-- to us, the ones left behind to read these words. "Im Atem Korim Et HaMilim HaEleh" is a first-of-its-kind literary-documentary project, curating forty-nine final letters written by soldiers who fell in the war that began on October 7th. Most of them have never been published before. This is a piece of history being written now, in the words of young fighters who, with the blood of their hearts, penned new chapters in the Israeli story. With contributions from artists and intellectuals: President Isaac Herzog * Eshkol Nevo * Zeruya Shalev * Iris Haim * Avi Issacharoff * Rebbetzin Yemima Mizrachi * Evyatar Banai * Avishag Shaar-Yashuv * Tzur Ehrlich * Rubik Rosenthal * Aviran Alfasi * Rabbi Tamir Granot * Maya Tevet Dayan * Zvi Ben Meir Shlomo Koves is a copywriter and stand-up comedian. Racheli Planet-Rosen is a journalist and social entrepreneur. Their encounter with these last words made them fall in love with forty-nine heroes and heroines they never got to meet in life. Maybe the same will happen to you.
