Wars of Modern Babylon
As long as there have been wars, victors have written the prevailing histories of the world's conflicts. An army that loses -- and especially one that is destroyed or disbanded -- is often forgotten. Nevertheless, the experiences of defeated forces can provide important insights, lessons, and perspectives not always apparent to the winning side. In Wars of Modern Babylon, Pesach Malovany provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the Iraqi military from its formation in 1921 to its collapse in 2003. Malovany analyzes Iraqi participation in the 1948, 1967, and 1973 Arab wars against Israel as well as Iraq's wars with the Kurds during the twentieth century. His primary focus, however, is...
Syrian commando operations on the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War (1973)
This paper presents findings from independent research conducted by Dr. Josef Berger, who mapped the flight routes of the Syrian aircraft and helicopters that penetrated the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. His research revealed that on the morning of October 9, 1973, the fourth day of the war, Syrian commando forces conducted three separate landings behind the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) that fought in the Golan Heights. This casts the Syrian landings in a new light, as the IDF had, until now, been aware of only one such landing, which took place near Nafakh Junction. In that landing, the nearby IDF forces quickly engaged and eliminated the Syrian forces. The research also correlat...

Unknown Syrian Helicopter Landings During the Yom Kippur War:
This is a story of the discovery of unknown Syrian commando landings behind the lines of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the Golan Heights, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. On the fourth day of the war, as part of the last Syrian attempt to conquer the Golan, Syrian helicopter groups were seen passing over IDF soldiers on their way in and out of the Golan. Around ten helicopters participated in the operation: two were downed on their exit route, one helicopter was downed by a tank gun shell, and one by a Mirage aircraft. For four decades, the IDF was aware of only one landing site. The author interviewed many IDF veterans who were stationed all over the Golan. He mapped the many Syrian ai...
The Jewish Pesach and the Origins of the Christian Easter
The study assesses the main issues in the current debate about the early history of Pesach and Easter and provides new insights into the development of these two festivals. The author argues that the prescriptions of Exodus 12 provide the celebration of the Pesach in Jerusalem with an etiological background in order to connect the pilgrim festival with the story of the Exodus. The thesis that the Christian Easter evolved as a festival against a Jewish form of celebrating Pesach in the second century and that the development of Easter Sunday is dependent upon this custom is endorsed by the author’s close study of relevant texts such as the Haggada of Pesach; the “Poem of the four nights” in the Palestinian Targum Tradition; the structure of the Easter vigil.

Passage to Pesach
Of all the Jewish holidays, Pesach ranks as the most popular. But Pesach is more than matzah. The purpose of this unique book is to encourage an enriched, text-based understanding of why we do what we do, when we do it. Passage to Pesach is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical survey of Pesach. The second section focuses on the five special Shabbatot that lead to the seder, with their additional Torah and haftarah readings.
