President of the State of Israel Reuven Rivlin met tonight with the heads of the Israeli community (IAC) in Los Angeles. Afterwards, the president spoke on stage with the head of the organization on the West Coast, Adam Milstein, at an event attended by members of the Israeli community.
The President emphasized the importance of dialogue with Israelis living all over the world and that he views them as an important force for the State of Israel. "It is important that you remember that you have a safe home in the State of Israel. I know that you are our ambassadors here, the bridge between the Israelis in Israel and the Jews here and between Israel and the US. You know the Israeli reality best, so you can mediate it. And you are helping to preserve an Israeli Jewish tradition here, to preserve the Hebrew language and bring it to the communities. "
