The Jewish people asked nothing of its sons except not to be denied. The world is grateful to every great man when he brings it something; only the paternal home thanks the son who brings nothing but himself.

It is true that we aspire to our ancient land. But what we want in that ancient land is a new blossoming of the Jewish spirit.
