You already made the March of the Living. From the abyss of Jewish History, the Shoah, the lowest, most tragic point in our life, to the summit of Jewish achievements, the State of Israel. The lowest and highest.

I know people say that Israel is a miracle. Israel is not a miracle – Israel is a belief, a hope, a trust, a land – it’s not an accident!

Some people are afraid of anti-Semites – don’t be afraid. They have an ugly past, and they’ll have a dark future. They believe in eternity and we believe in eternity. Their eternity is hate, our eternity is love.

……….. The founding of State of Israel was done by people who believe in human beings, who believe in a better world, who believe peace and friendship. And I’m telling you, this is the future!

………..

Nobody could have broken us. They hate us, they persecute us, they killed many of us, but we remain and we shall remain, and we shall win because we stand on the side of man, of the right, of justice, of the future!

We are a small people, but with a great spirit. I must say the world is becoming more and more Jewish, than the Jewish are becoming non-Jewish.
…..
We brought down the Ten Commandments, which is all told 172 words. For thousands of years, those 172 words were not changed. On the contrary! Many other civilizations joined us….

You know, I am going around like you, and I am coming to different places. I remember coming to a small place which is called China. We are eight million and the Chinese are a billion two hundred millions. Who is the best friend of China? Who is the best fried of India? Who changed the Catholic world if not the Pope who said that he is our brother?

We are belonging to the people. We’ll never disappear, because if we disappeared there wouldn’t be humanity. We are a guarantee of humanity, of righteousness, of hope for the young and old.

I want to tell you, young and old, the job is not over. But what we have achieved guarantees that we can be over the goal. We can do much more. You can do much more! And you should do much more!

When I left my place (in Poland) I was 11 years old, my grandfather who was a Rabbi came to the station (to say goodbye)…….He came, he embraced me and he said three words, “(My) Son Remain Jewish.” Those are the three words which are guiding my life…..
…..
I don’t suggest that we should be afraid. I am not afraid of Iran. If somebody has to be afraid let them look at themselves. I don’t think there can be another Hitler when there is a new Israel. I believe in our strength, rather a moral strength, not just a physical one.

You came, you warm our hearts. I think you feel a part of a great history and a greater future. Am Yisrael Chai!

And you are Am Yisrael. We are Am Yisrael – wherever we are, wherever we go with our history, with our destiny, with our commitment to represent what is right and promising. God bless you.

Am Yisrael Chai.
