Bridges for
Peace New Zealand celebrated the 70th anniversary of the modern
State of Israel this week with a special guest – the Israel Ambassador to New
Zealand Dr Itzhak Gerberg.A warm
reception was held and with about 150 in attendance, Dr Gerberg addressed the
audience with a speech about Israel, its history and the region in general.
A beautiful cake in the shape of a Magen David, or Star of David, was presented
and served to all those in attendance. The event, organized by Mr. Brian Ashford,
was a delightful chance to celebrate the independence of Israel in Northland.
“I want to thank my friends
in Bridges for Peace New Zealand in Whangarei for their warm welcome and the
amazing celebration of Israel’s 70th Anniversary,” said Dr Gerberg. “I was especially
moved to hear the beautiful performance of a song that was written during the Holocaust
in a concentration camp. It was an honor to give a speech on Israel and meet so
many lovely people.”
