PM Attends Project MASA Annual Conference
"It is difficult for he current generation to imagine a world without Israel ; it was a different world. But throughout their generations, Jews prayed 'Next year in Jerusalem ' and, in the end, realized this. Sixty-two years ago, the Jewish People returned to its homeland and built a state, a government, an army and an economy. While all of this is very important, it is insufficient because the main thing is the identity and the spirit. The Zionist revolution is mainly a revolution of the spirit. The collective memory of our people goes back almost 4,000 years. No other people has such a history. It is a great privilege to belong to the Jewish People."
