Dr. Nahum Goldmann told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that the late President Ben-Zvi was “more than just a President in the eyes of the Jewish nation and in the eyes of millions of non-Jews.
“He symbolized the highest characteristic of the Jewish nation in its homeland–devotion and a modest and human approach to all citizens of the state and to each citizen in particular. He was therefore beloved by all of us,” Dr. Goldmann said.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
