| The
added value that you contribute - during your army service as soldiers
and as commanders in elite units of the IDF (and I hope that you
continue to attain leadership roles in our society in the future)
- is thanks to the ideals and vast personal capabilities that each
one of you possesses.
I came here to tell you, first of all, congratulations
for everything that you are accomplishing here. The pre-army yeshivas
have a wonderful reputation - both within Israel’s general security
forces, as well as for serving in elite units as both soldiers and
commanders.
I believe that the values you incorporate
at Magen Shaul will add to your capabilities in the future and to
your contribution to the State of Israel as a whole… The preparatory
colleges have a very important impact on Israeli society and its
security. That is why I want to reiterate today my congratulations
to the Magen Shaul Mechina and to thank you and the school’s leaders
for everything that you do here.
