This is it ... 60!

From twilight to dawn, sorrow to joy, mourning to gladness. This is the cycle that Israel observes every year with the observance of Remembrance Day followed immediately by Independence Day. And this year, a landmark. 60 years! Who would have thought?

Who would have thought otherwise? We couldn't, we wouldn't.

In another 60 years, God willing, Israel will celebrate her 120th anniversary. A landmark with even more special significance.

Wishing the State of Israel the happiest of birthdays ... and many, many more.
