WISHING

The Jewish Whole

A

s we stand at the
threshold of the
Jewish New Year, I
take great pleasure in send-
ing you warm greetings
from Jerusalem, the eternal
and undivided capital of the
State of Israel and the Jewish
people.
The period between Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur
is one of introspection and
atonement. We must look back and
learn from the year which has passed
and integrate these lessons as we look
ahead towards the future.
For many years, researchers and
leaders have spoken of the dangers
facing the Jewish people — whether in
the form of hatred and anti- Semitism,
or because of the issues of intermar-
riage, assimilation and the erosion of
Jewish identity and affinity with the
State of Israel.
The State of Israel and the diaspora
communities must work together to

ensure that the Jewish
people continue to grow
stronger and become
more unified. We must
encourage and support the
next generation of Jewish
leadership in this impor-
tant endeavor. Since the
establishment of the State
of Israel, we have been
partners in the Zionist
enterprise, and we must
now be partners in ensuring our future
as a vibrant and inclusive people.
We are all Jews, first and foremost.
We must never lose light of this, nor
can we forget the central role the State
of Israel plays in this identity. One
cannot exist without the other, and we
must work together to strengthen both
halves of the whole.
Wishing you a Shanah Tovah — a
year filled with joy, love and health. LI-

Partnerships To Prospects

A

s we stand upon
the threshold of
the Jewish New
Year and as I assume the
presidency of the State of
Israel, I would like to share
with you my deepest and
most sincere desire for
the continued prosperity,
security, intellectual wealth
and well being of the
Jewish people throughout
the world and that of all those who seek
peace and tolerance.
Within the wider framework of the
dilemmas and challenges we face in the
new era, the Jewish people are called
upon to deal with issues and questions
pertaining to our existence, our role in
global initiatives and the shaping of our
own identity. For many years, Israel had
been perceived as a global "problem."
Today, global challenges are as much
on the Israeli agenda as they are issues
which trouble the entire world.
It is an inherent part of the Jewish
heritage to seek global responsibilities
within the framework of tikkun olam
[repair of the world). Despite its small
size, Israel has proved that it is capable
of creating a unique economy. Similarly,
it has become a global pioneer in the
realm of scientific development. It is

crucial that Israel continues to
carve out a role for itself in the
sphere of global science and
technology and to serve as a
pioneer in the infinite search
for solutions to global chal-
lenges in the fields of education,
telecommunications, agricul-
ture, global warming and more.
The Jewish people throughout
the world have been, and con-
tinue to serve, as the backbone
to such achievements. Together, the State
of Israel and the Jews of the diaspora
have the inherent potential to contribute
to forwarding peace and prosperity on
a global level in general, and to consoli-
dating Jewish existence in particular.
The State of Israel deeply values the
participation of the Jewish communi-
ties around the world in the process of
ensuring its well being. Of particular
value is the continued participation of
the Jewish youth of today, and the lead-
ers of the future.
With Rosh Hashanah at our doorstep,
I convey, once more, my warmest per-
sonal wishes to you, your families and
your communities for a year of peace
and well being. I
