Quotes

  • I exist thanks to the decision of my parents, born in Poland, to rebel against the rabbis and immigrate to Israel
  • We must turn Israel into a state that’s a challenge to world Jewry and not a Vatican. I believe that we don’t want Israel to turn into a ghetto and an Orthodox theocratic state. Most of the Israelis reject this way of living. We must have a bill of rights and we must liberate the Israeli woman from the bondage of the religious law
  • On that wonderful and moving day, the State of Israel was announced as a democratic country that guarantees complete social and political equality of rights for all its citizens, regardless of religion, race, or gender. All this in the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel - the declaration that is the founding document of the young country And of the people fighting for their freedom and sovereignty.
