...citizens of the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, with Zion/Jerusalem at its heart: Let us first and foremost be respectful of the other. And, on the basis of respect, let us learn more about each other, not in order to convince the other how wrong she/he may be, but rather to simply know one another. My hope is that such learning can be done in Hebrew, the national language of the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people. Shanah Tovah to all members of our people, in the Land of Israel and in the Diaspora.
