Partners in this Great Enterprise

 

In November several thousand people gathered at the Royal Albert Hall to see a variety show that commemorated the centenary of the Balfour Declaration.  It has been the catalyst that has brought about the creation of the State of Israel under modern international law.

At a dinner hosted by Lord Rothschild at the Royal Albert Hall, Balfour in describing the relationship between non-Jews and Jews in the future task of creating a Jewish homeland, “We are partners in this great enterprise.”

Whether one believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or not, it is still remarkable that the words of Isaiah, who lived in the 8th Century BC, should be fulfilled nearly three thousand years later:

“Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day or a nation brought forth in a moment?” — Isaiah 66:8

The performers included Andrei Popov, Shir, the Israeli Dance Institute, and Tally Koren.
