Dear friends,
It's the month of May and spring has brought with it a renewal of many sorts. Politically, the international community is on the move, with country after country lining up to discuss moving its embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing what we have known for a few millenia: Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the heart of the Jewish nation. It was an honor to attend the event with Congressional delegations from the House and Senate; special shout-out to some of those who worked without much credit to reach this historic moment:
Rep. Ron DeSantis, whose whirlwind trip last year was followed by a hearing in Congress - here's a reminder from our files:
Rep. Dennis Ross, also on the move, leading a team of our congressional friends talking behind the scenes to any and everyone of significance in making this historic decision.
Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. We can testify to Senator Lee's round-the-clock discussions, with our team and without, to move the White House and create this change in policy.
It is nothing but a miracle, encouraged by personal effort and a President unafraid to keep his promise. During his announcement we manned a 'situation room', working hand in hand with the top Embassy officials here in Israel, to create supportive, vocal 'watch-parties' here in Israelas a means of saying thank you and showing support for the move.
