James BrownIsrael is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. Dreams fulfilled are imperfect. And, Israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. One of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. They were bigger than life.

In the bigger picture of things, it would be well if you also contributed to making this world a better place to be because you passed through it.
