[applause] there is one more choice we face together. In some ways, it may be the most important of all. And as, as americans , israelis, stay true to the shared Democratic Values at the heart of our relationships . We are both nations built by immigrants and exiles, seeking to live and worship in freedom. Nations built on principles of equality, tolerance, and pluralism. At our best, both israel and america are seen as a light unto the nations, because of those values. This is the Real Foundation of our alliance. I think it is why so Many Americans feel such a deep, emotional connection with israel. I know that i do. It is why we cannot be neutral about israel and israels future, because in israels story, we see our own. And the story of all people who struggle for freedom and selfdetermination. Theres

This is 45 minutes. Thank you. Leadership makes a difference. Right here in michigan we are witnessing the power of old new and creative leadership in our companies and in our cities and in our states. The alignment of these Leadership Qualities over multiple sectors has resulted in a paradigm shift of what we as michiganders believe is possible.
