Rosh Hashanah Greeting
From President Herzog

My Friends,
Jews the world over await
the New Year of 5751 with
the traditional sense of awe
and hope and, in these
ominous days, with par-
ticular sensitivity to the
shattering developments in
and about Iraq and the Gulf.
We are bound to recall the
great pronouncement of our
prayers on how the nations,
too, are to bejudged: "Which
of them is destined to the
sword and which to peace,
which to famine and which
to plenty." It is for peace that
we pray, a peace strength-
ening the foundations of
world order and ending the
savage threats to the Middle
East, to the free world and,
so menacingly, to Israel.
The land of Israel and the
Jewish people, wherever
scattered, have always been
deeply involved in the
fateful fluctuations of histo-
ry. This crisis caused by the
appearance of an
unbelievably cruel dictator
in our area is no exception.
Truths which we have
sensed and the great world
not wished to know are
becoming painfully obvious.
For decades there has been
widespread acceptance of the
concept that the Arab world
is indissolutely united and
shares a common fate and
purpose, while the Arab-
Israeli conflict is primarily
responsible for the unrest in
the area.
Over-focusing on the
Israeli-Arab conflict has led
world opinion to grave
miscalculations — as in its
obliviousness to the present
issue. Seen in total perspec-
tive, the Israeli-Arab conflict
and the expression of it in
the intifada, cease to be the
central problem in the Mid-
dle East. They are extremely
important and distressing,
to be sure, and a supreme
effort must be made to find
solutions for them — an
effort to which Israel is
solemnly committed.
The fact is, however, that
even if when the success we
hope for in solving the Arab-
Israeli conflict is achieved,
violence and instability will
not vanish from this area.
Yet, in the midst of
dangerous regional
upheaval and localized un-
rest, Israel as a whole con-
tinues to function
energetically and creatively,
coping with precisely those
great issues of Jewish sur-
vival which are at the root of
its existence. Paradoxically

Chaim Herzog,
president of Israel

these have been accentuated
by the astonishing
emergence of democratic
tendencies and revolution in
what was the communist
bloc in Europe.
The social and national
emotions and economic
grievances that had been
repressed are reappearing.
Not least among them is an-
ti-Semitism, with its poten-
tial implications for the sur-
viving Jewish communities
of Hungary, Slovakia,
Romania, Poland.
The outstanding example
— of unprecedented dimen-
sions and impact — is the
case of the Soviet Union's

flight by their perception of
the imminence of pogroms or
at least of sporadic attacks
by disgruntled elements dur-
ing the economic and polit-
ical crisis now prevailing in
the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Jewish exodus
has brought about an ab-
solutely revolutionary, in-
deed, miraculous change in
world Jewry and above all in
Israel. The movement
towards Israel takes up the
thread cut off in the early
1920s, the thread of heroic
aliyah of eastern European
halutzim (pioneers) after
World War I.
How different Israel would
have been and Russian
Jewry as well, if that aliyah
could have continued as log-
ically it could and would
have. For Russian Jewry
had long been the heartland
of the Jewish people, the
center of the Hebrew
renaissance and of Zionism,
