‘’Israel lives on
State Medal, 5743-1982

A short statement of three words whose meaning is great. The people of Israel, in many respects are different from the people of other nations. These people have not always lived in their own country or on their own land and have not always spoken their own language, Hebrew. This was so because the people were dispersed in all parts of the world in some 70 countries, each one with its own language. In spite of this, the people have remained faithful to the Jewish heritage throughout the ages. Israel was the appellation of the forefather, Jacob. His twelve sons were the forerunners of the twelve tribes which settled in Israel. Israel is also the name of our people "the People of Israel", of our land "the Land of Israel" and of our Bible, "the Bible of Israel" which came forth from Zion and radiated to the whole world. After the People of Israel were expelled from its land and after 1900 years of wondering and persecution in the diaspora, the dreams of the prophets of Israel were realized, and its sons returned to their ancient homeland. Here they rebuilt a Jewish state which is also called by the name of "Israel". "Live" A unique spiritual being was granted to the People of Israel by the "eternal life" which is also known as the "Guardian of Israel", a virtue of which allowed us to resist and survive in spite of... over the generations. Great nations older than us have come and gone from the stage of history. They disappeared in spite of their strength and culture. Is it no wonder that in spite of its enemies and its detractors our small and ancient nation has remained in existence until this day. The key to the secret lies hidden in the words "The People of Israel Live" and has become a symbol, a promise and a song.''
