Global Society: globalization brings about not only one-way transfer of products and services, but an inevitable two-way transfer of cultures- WE MUST RELEASE FEAR OF DIFFERENT CULTURES.

A few words from the Judge (Ret.) Shlomo Shoham Commissioner for Future Generations
This magic moment when we risk parting from the familiar patterns of the past,
This magic moment when the past disappears and we dare to leave the dimension of known time And to look down to the future we are facing. This magic moment that creates a new reality. I have longed for this magic moment my whole life. This magic moment contains pure mountain air, love and perfect acceptance of the entire universe,
In this magic moment there is eternal love for this earth, And a harmonious dance with nature and God.
In this magic moment we walk past the fear of the future destroys every pleasant place,
We allow our special melody to ring out and bring inspiration. This magic moment, this moment only, Is the security for mankinds ability
This magic moment, this moment alone, can create a future in the life of a nation
Can bring it the emotional strength and power to fully embrace its identity,
To look at its past, but not to be captive of the of the traumas of the past,,
To a dimension of forgiveness, to a dimension of healing, to a dimension of acceptance, To the dimension of future.
