About 5,000 young people from around the world, who took part in the “March of the Living” from Auschwitz to Birkenau, arrived at the end of Holocaust Remembrance Day for a whole week during which they visited the State of Israel. The peak of the visit took place on Independence Day, when thousands of young people came to pray at the Western Wall.

In our difficult hour, we not only turn our eyes upward, but to one another, strengthening one another, embracing one another, sending strength and prayers and hope to those who need them most.
