Greetings For The Year 5748
From The Ambassador Of Israel To The United States
Rosh Hashanah has, for time
immemorial, meant for Jewish
people a new spiritual and
moral beginning. This Rosh
Hashanah, moreover, in-
augurates a year of worldwide
celebration of Israel's 40th an-
niversary. It will thus serve as
an occasion to contemplate the
historic significance of Israel's
creative survival against dif-

and Hungary signed an agree-
ment in Bern to establish in-
terest sections in their respec-
tive countries. It is the lowest
level of diplomatic representa-
tion but could be a precursor to
stronger ties in the future.
The signing ceremonies,
which lasted an hour, were
held in private. At the request
of the Hungarians, no media
was allowed. The Israeli par-
ticipants were Yeshayahu
Anug, Deputy Director
General 01 the Foreign
Ministry, legal adviser Victor
Harel, and Israel's Am-
bassador to Switzerland,
David Rivlin.
Hungary was represented by

department at the Foreign
Ministry, and Wiimos

section.
ficult odds, and the meaning
and value of the Jewish State
to the Jewish people.
I am therefore delighted to
have this special opportunity,
as I begin my tour of duty as
Ambassador of Israel to the
United States, not only to ex-
tend Rosh Hashanah greetings
to the American Jewish com-
munity, but to express my pro-
found appreciation of the
powerful ties of kinship and
mutuality, of history and
spirit, that bind us and make
us one people.
It is my fervent desire and
determined intention to
establish close ties with
American Jewry, and to help
intensify and deepen those
bonds and the dialogue bet-
ween Israel and the Jews of
America.
I am proud and privileged to
represent the State of Israel in
the United States. Never have
the ties between our two coun-
tries politically, economical-
ly, strategically been so
close and so far-reaching.
It is a source of immense
gratification that in these 40
years the United States and
Israel have forged an un-
breakable relationship of
friendship and understanding
 grounded in the basic values
and institutions of a free socie-
ty and an open democracy 
which we share. I trust that
this relationship will grow ever
stronger in the years ahead,
and I will do all in my power
toward that end.
These four decades have
demonstrated the many
variegated ways in which
Israel and American Jewry are
intimately connected. Many
bonds unites us Jewish
culture and education, the
American Jewish community's
contribution to the social and
educational sectors of Israeli
life, intellectual dialogues and
forums, the development of
youth projects, visits and
tourism.
In these 40 years, a broad
realization has grown that
there is no agenda for Jewish
life without recognition of the
centrality of Israel. Israel 
having achieved what many
thought was unachievable and
never shirking from even the
most difficult of challenges 
has filled Jewish hearts
everywhere with pride. Jews
in the United States and
elsewhere are unified by a firm
bond of solidarity and iden-
tification with Jewish
sovereignty and nationhood.
All of these create a web of
relations and ties that unite us,
enrich our lives, and ensure
the vigorous continuity not on-
ly of Israel but also of
American Jewry.
Despite the geographical
distance between us, we are
united by our Jewish tradition
and spirit, which are embodied
in the moral significance of the
High Holidays. We are all
Jews together the Jewish
State and the Jewish people 
bound by a unity of purpose
and vision and hope. And we

This ardent desire of ours
for ever more visits by
American Jews is most ap-
propriately symbolized in this
season by the joyous declara-
tion that concludes the tradi-
tional liturgy of Yom Kippur:

intend to remain united.
That unity can only be
bolstered by a great expansion
in the number of American
Jews who come to visit Israel
and experience the vibrancy of
our life. This can only further
cement the bonds of
understanding and mutuality
that unite us.
