Here, In The Land Of Israel, We Returned And Built A Nation. Here, In The Land Of Israel, We Established A State. The Land Of The Prophets, Which Bequeathed To The World The Values Of Morality, Law And Justice, Was After Two Thousand Years, Restored To Its Lawful Owner - The Members Of The Jewish People, On Its Land, We Have Built An Exceptional National Home And State.
