At middle age. and I speak of personal experience. as I am also marking my 60th year. one must take stock of their past and look forward to the future. The Israeli State and its people continue to work to preserve its foundation as a Jewish state with Jewish values. while they live in a region where the very idea of the existence of a Jewish state continues to be challenged. As Israel looks toward the future. integrating its immigrants. expanding its economy. preserving its heritage. and providing foreign assistance and refuge to Jews throughout the world. the United States will stand alongside her in her quest for peace and prosperity. We hope to learn from each other. Israel continues to fight terror alongside the United States and stands as an example of how to balance civil liberties and security. religious freedom and the expression of religious values in its economic and political structure.
