simon wiesenthal center's founder and dean rabbi marvin hier read the book and also advised trank to do so. impressed by avner's work, trank decided to make a film based on it and cast avner as the narrator. for the historical footage the production team collaborated with some european and israeli archives. a footage showing golda meir crying after she was chosen as the prime minister following eshkol's death, was obtained from the israel broadcasting authority. a few images of her with israeli soldiers at the golan heights during the yom kippur war were also included. trank intended to "highlight eshkol’s role in changing the strategic relationship between israel and the us." and present golda meir as "the woman and what she was up against — especially with the yom kippur war". conversation between richard nixon and united states secretary of state henry kissinger regarding israel was also shown through the visuals of transcripts obtained from the nixon library.
the prime ministers: the pioneers
the talmud states, "yom kippur atones for those who repent and does not atone for those who do not repent". repentance in judaism is done through a process called teshuva, which in its most basic form consists of regretting having committed the sin, resolving not to commit that sin in the future and to confess that sin before god. confession in judaism is called "vidui" (hebrew וידוי). there is also a commandment to repent on yom kippur. accordingly, yom kippur is unique for the confessional, or "vidui", that is part of the prayer services. in keeping with the requirement to repent on yom kippur, jews recite the full "vidui" a total of 9 times: once during mincha on yom kippur eve, and on yom kippur itself during ma'ariv (2 times), shacharit (2 times), musaf (2 times), and mincha (2 times); at ne’eilah, only the short confessional is said. the first time in each service takes place during the personal recitation of the amidah (standing, silent prayer), and the second time during the cantor's repetition of the amidah (except during the preceding mincha), in a public recitation.
