\n“Young people, listen! Somewhere, someone is holding our fate on a balance scale. And the sides of the scale go up and down, up and down. On one side \u2013 the Holocaust, the revival of Israel, and the wars of Israel. On the other side \u2013 political and business intrigues and they are very weighty. Youngsters, remember, when the time comes, throw yourselves onto the scale. Throw yourselves with strength and courage. It will be decisive; the weight will shift, Youngsters, listen!”\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

\n“The day will come when my people will be a great and free nation. All the colors of the rainbow will shine on the Land of Israel and its beautiful landscapes. The sweat of my people \u2013 my work is the work of one of the builders of a new temple to a single- God whose name is the people of Israel.”
\n“Everything that is Hebrew in us was given to us by Eretz Israel; everything else in us is not Hebrew. Israel and Eretz Israel are one; there we were born as a nation and there we matured. And when the storm came and threw us out of HaEretz, we could no longer grow, just as an uprooted tree cannot grow. And all our lives were dedicated to preserving our uniqueness which was created in Eretz Israel.”
