MK Ofir Sofer said in an Absorption Committee meeting on the condition of the Diaspora, "The situation of the Jewish communities of the world obliges the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people to deal with the issue and help and assist as much as possible."

"The solution to assimilation lies first and foremost in a formal and informal educational effort.

"The relative advantage that the State of Israel can give by Jewish studies in schools and universities - can produce a relative advantage in which a little goes a long way."
