After 78 years of war, we hope that the 79th year of the State of Israel will be a year of peace.
Dr. Yael Admi: Out of pain, we choose to raise the torch of peace.
On this Memorial Day, as our hearts are torn and the longing does not go away, my thoughts are with the bereaved families. With the circles of loss that have grown over the past two and a half years to unimaginable proportions, and with the anger that the cycle of bloodshed has still not ended.
When I received the invitation to light the torch of peace at the democratic-liberal torch-lighting ceremony, I thought of them. I thought of the late Vivian Silver, whose path we pledged to continue, and of the tens of thousands of women in the โWomen Wage Peaceโ movement who refuse to give in to despair.
I choose to light this torch because it is our moral duty โ in honor of the fallen and for the sake of the living. It is our responsibility not to give up on this beloved country, and to present a values-based alternative of peace, equality, and freedom, as written in the Declaration of Independence.
Especially on this evening, the transition from remembrance to independence compels us to commit ourselves to building a safe future for us all.
I invite each and every one of you to stand with us. Let us bring about the change we have been longing for.

Waiting for morning, to wake up and realize that no, this is not a dream. Then we will rise, allow ourselves to rejoice, breathe deeply at last, and carry on.
Immense rebuilding and healing work lies ahead. And more political agreements.
Because our security lies in political agreements.
