Res 322. which recognizes the 60th anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel. For all of us who gathered around the Passover table this weekend to pledge ourselves. "next year in Jerusalem." the Jewish State of Israel is a commitment of both mind and heart. It is a homeland for the Jewish people persecuted. slaughtered and driven from their land for centuries. and it continues to be a safe haven for refugees from around the world. One of the most compelling experiences of my life was greeting the Ethiopian Jews as they arrived in Ben Gurion Airport after their dramatic rescue as a part of Operation Solomon in the 1980s. I also will never forget visiting with the children of Yemin Orde in northern Israel.
