With the help of G-D the Jewish people have carved out of the swamps and desert a country. First excelling in the agricultural fields and then moving on from the fields, to the technological fields of the 21st century.

We have witnessed Jews fight in 1948 having just come off the boats and with little or no training being thrown into combat at Latrun. To a nation that carried off Entebbe and the raid on Sadaam's nuclear reactor.

With the help of G-D, may we get through the next 60 years a little easier than we got through the last 60 years.
