The Modern-Day Return to Zion Is Not Something to Take for Granted
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Israel's 72nd Independence Day is characterized by the challenge to our sense of what can be taken for granted. Even when talking about the nation, we would do well to allow ourselves to feel anew the most ordinary things that seem obvious but aren't: a Jewish government, a Jewish police force, a Jewish army, and a Jewish language and national anthem and flag and landscapes and symbols and laws, as well as our own school system; wonderful achievements that are ours. Even troubles and disputes that are entirely our own. We are no longer dependent on the kindness of others.
