These values include importance of mutual understanding and respect, the moral imperative of protecting religious liberty, the necessity of education and knowledge, the value of compassion for the vulnerable and bereft, the fairness of just and peaceful resolution of disputes, and the centrality of Israel to the security and fulfillment of the Jewish people.
