70 years! So much to celebrate, yet still much to solve…

This week, we, the Jews and especially Israeli Jews, are commemorating 70 years since the creation of the modern State of Israel.

The last 70 years have been, and still are, a constant struggle against enemies surrounding our small State, and unfortunately, we have not been fighting only our enemies. Even after 70 years there is a tremendous struggle between Jews, an internal struggle to find unification among ourselves, to find a self-definition as a State and Nation – one that will be accepted by all our citizens.
