Minister Omer Yankelevich: 

Thank you all so much for opening the virtual doors to your beautiful community. It is obvious, even from Zoom, what a strong and special community this is. 

I was especially moved to see how the different leaders and communities work together and cooperate, regardless of the distinctions between them. This is the exact message that I have embraced and am promoting as Minster of Diaspora Affairs: We, the Jewish nation, must focus on what connects us. Ultimately we share a common destiny. 

You should know, that I see it as my job, to represent your voice within the Israeli government, I’m here to bring back your stories and challenges, to the halls of the Knesset, to ensure that our government, and particularly, my office, are doing everything to stand with you.
