[ singing and applause] I respect the world of Torah, because generations

of my ancestors and yours maintained the heritage of Israel through Torah study.

But whoever does not study Torah must enlist. And when he enlists,

he must receive the right to enter as Haredi and leave as Haredi.

We are going to connect these two worlds. It only adds strength.

The fact that you can study Torah and serve,

and maintain a religious- Haredi lifestyle and serve,

to hold the sword of David and serve, and also study,

is what strengthens us most of all. We have great achievements, we are not done yet.

But these achievements come first of all from faith, from spirit.

Also from strength, also from tools,

also from technology and weapons. But in the end, or at the beginning of it,

it comes from the spirit of the Hasmoneans.
