It guarantees equal pay for equal work. it provides oldage pension. unemployment insurance. and other worker protections. Israel is an ancient nation but at the same time a contemporary one sharing many of the characteristics of our own relatively youthful country. We have in common the epic of mass immigration bringing to our shores hundreds of thousands of newcomers. In Israel. as in America. pioneers toiled and sacrificed to transform a wilderness into productive land. They struggled. as we struggled. to blend many immigrant traditions and tongues and experiences into a new cultureunified and distinctive. Most importantly. our two nations each have had the experience of creating a sanctuary for democratic government and a free way of life. and of having accomplished this under the duress of natural obstacles and in the face of human hostilities as well. Four thousand years of history span the period of Israels first nationhood and her resurgence and restoration to freedom in 1948.
