Israel鈥檚 Consul General on the Trajectory of Israel鈥檚 Future On Monday, April 15, 2019, in Weissberg Commons on the Wilf Campus, 黑料社 All鈥檚 Public Action Club welcomed Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel, for a discussion of Israel鈥檚 past, present and future. Addressing a packed audience of YU students, Dayan focused on Israel鈥檚 current trajectory of innovation, marked by Beresheet, the country鈥檚 first attempt at an unmanned moon landing. 鈥淟ast week we celebrated two great Israeli achievements,鈥� said Dayan. 鈥淭he first was Israeli democracy, which is nothing less than a miracle: A country born in war, constantly threatened, established by Jews from Europe and the Middle East.鈥� Dayan went on to note that Israel鈥檚 second greatest achievement was its culture of innovation as witnessed in the development of Beresheet. Despite suffering a last-minute failure upon landing, Beresheet was still impressive. Israel made history by being one of only seven nations to have launched a spacecraft in orbit around the moon. 鈥淭hough we succeeded only partially,鈥� said Dayan, 鈥淏eresheet symbolized Israeli daring and innovation.鈥�
