But the people of Israel have experienced the battles and the pogroms since the first battle in 1873. My brother, too -- my dear brother -- you entered this circle, the same silver tray that for 150 years this people, this revival generation continues to redeem the land of Israel and build the State of Israel. God have given and God has taken away, may the name of the Lord be blessed."
