The first 21 years in life are usually characterized as experimental. growing yearsthe years when. sure of being protected and sheltered. we can afford a little selfindulgence. and trialanderror. Israel never had the luxury of such youthful years: she was born out of turbulence and had to struggle for her very existence. She could not afford any hitormiss efforts nor any irresponsible acts. for the odds were clearly against her. Although burdened by centuries of oppression. handicapped by waves of immigration. lack of funds. and barren wastelands. and threatened by surrounding hostile nations. Israel has triumphed over every obstacle. The faith. courage. perseverance. and dedication of the Israeli people have transformed their centuriesold dreams and hopes into living realities.
