Dr. Kedar delivered a passionate talk about Jerusalem's significance to the Jewish people, explaining that Jerusalem has been their eternal capital for over 3,000 years since King David's time.
Dr. Kedar described how the city serves as the epicenter of Jewish identity, noting that Jews worldwide direct their prayers toward Jerusalem and view it as essential to their religious and cultural heritage.
The talk highlighted the 19-year Jordanian occupation of Jerusalem (1948-1967) and emphasized the ongoing struggle with neighboring countries who cannot accept the revival of Jewish presence in Jerusalem, particularly regarding prayers on the Temple Mount.
Dr. Kedar concluded by advocating for global recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving world embassies there to demonstrate that Israel's existence cannot be eliminated.
