Congratulations to the State of Israel, which celebrates its 60th anniversary today. Israel's creation was a miracle, its continued survival an even bigger miracle, and its resilience may be the biggest miracle of all.
Look at it this way: because of Israel, Brandeis University will always be the second most-important Jewish-oriented institution that was created in 1948.
