The general Israeli public is so far removed from our history and heritage.  In terms of demographics, these are the kids who will be the majority very soon.

The Moskowitz Zionism ceremony was at Ir David, David's City.  It's an amazing place, and I must go there "as a tourist."

One of the Prize Winners was Ronit Shuker.  She and her first husband, the late Yossi Shuker, were the main leaders in establishing  Shvut Rachel, Givat Achiya and Meshek Achiya Olive Oil.  I don't know the other prize winners, but I must say that Ronit is even greater than all the praises heaped on her by the Moskowitz Prize committee.  I pray that she and her family enjoy good health and many blessings.  The audience was full of her neighbors from Shvut Rachel and Givat Achiya.  It was very thrilling.  I've known her since she married Yossi.  They were my older children's youth leaders.  After my daughter's engagement, one of the first things she did was to bring her chattan (fiance`) to Yossi, who was then hospitalized.
