YOM HAATZMAUT – 2012: A message from Ralph Hofmann

On Thursday, 26th April 2012 (4th day of Iyar) we join in celebration of Israel's Day of Independence.

Our hearts and thoughts are with the people of Israel and we admire their strength in the face of constant adversity.

We, in the Diaspora, are well aware of rising anti-Semitism and it is the very existence of our own state which gives us the strength to face this.

The people of Israel have every right to be proud of their achievements.

We know that, whatever the obstacle, Israel and our people will prevail.

So, MAZAL TOV ISRAEL, on your 64th anniversary.

May you go from strength to strength.
