In the current blog from the National Library of Israel they reprint an article from their blog from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://blog.nli.org.il/en/rabbi-sacks-home-of-the-book/__;!!KGKeukY!kyeQrae64CPWT28FCt_ulerOnfKzuuhZ_qZ4Xmw1N1jlWud4ZOjWj7Pbbw-W-ZhDnpg$ ) Rabbi Sacks tells of the importance of library, knowledge, and spread of knowledge. The following paragraph is what we always wish for -- the Library and our libraries should be the center of the state and the organization.
It is therefore my hope and my dream that the day will come when visitors to the State of Israel, be they presidents, prime ministers, or popes, will be taken not first to Yad Vashem, however important that is, but here to the new national and international library, which I propose should be subtitled, “The Home of the Book for the People of the Book.” Let us show the world not only how Jews died but how Jews live. *Bimhera beyameinu, Amen* – speedily in our days, Amen. -- Daniel D.
