Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud), congratulated the Jewish people on the occasion of Passover and wrote on his Facebook account: "The connection to heritage and customs that have been preserved for hundreds of generations are what have preserved us and the spark of the Jewish people."
"This spark caused the Jews throughout the generations to stand for the sanctification of God and their faith, even in the face of countless attempts at destruction and danger. The same legacy has led to positions being maintained throughout the country, where the children of Israel come to train on their weapons, just as our ancestors and our forefathers did.''
''It is this heritage that protects us, and it is our job to protect it. In the days when the divisions threaten to return us to the days of the 12 tribes - it is our duty to stop and look back to history, to see how strong we are when we are united - many opinions, but one people."
"Happy Holidays to all the House of Israel - in Israel and in the Diaspora,'' Edelstein wrote.
