Netanyahu and Son On Stage as Masa Celebrates

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Natan Sharansky, addressed on Thursday evening 3,000 Masa Israel Journey participants at a ten-year celebration in Jerusalem.

"This year, a record 11,000 young people will participate in Masa Israel Journey, a partnership of the Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency,” said Netanyahu, adding, “You have dedicated a year of your lives to live in Israel. You came here from many lands to this land, and this is your land. This is your home. Israel is always your home. This is the meaning of Masa."

During his speech, the Prime Minister invited his son, Avner, onto the stage along with his fellow participants in Garin Atid, a Masa Israel Journey program that is a partnership between the Tzofim (Israel Scouts) and Young Judaea, in which young Israelis and young Jews from abroad spend the year living together.
