It is front to the steps of the arrival "WELCOME TO ISRAEL" of the BEN GOURION airport that Mister the Minister of Tourism Moshe KATSAV wished that this highly symbolic Candelabra of Peace be set up. |

This
Menorah, symbol of Light and Peace, will light the whole world. Any
person arriving to Israel will be then impregnated by its force and
its message of universal peace. This inauguration which as been highly
mediatized throughout the World, thus opened the festivities of the
fiftieth anniversary of the Hebrew's state creation: the Israel 50
Jubilee. It is what undoubtedly Salvador DALI had appreciated, taking
as account its admiration for the people of Israel. |
