In honor of Israel’s 63rd Independence Day, Arutz Sheva is undertaking a special project. Entitled “Facing Forward,” it asks personalities from different fields to respond to the question: How do you expect the State of Israel to looks in twenty-five years, and how would you want it to look at that time.
One of the participants in the project is MK Uri Orbach of the Jewish Home party, who presented a detailed and optimistic vision in almost every area.
