"Today I dream no more.
Today I dream no more the dream that Abraham dreamed over 3,000 years ago. An elderly man, a novice of his time, commanded to leave the comfort and familiarity of his home for a barren and deserted wasteland. He willingly abided, and was rewarded with descendants who dreamed to follow his lead."

These were the opening words of Noah Tradonsky, 2021 Yeshiva University Sy Syms School of Business Valedictorian. 

His speech sends a powerful message about the Jewish people, and about the importance of returning to the homeland, ending with:

"No longer do I dream the dream that these heroes and millions like them dreamed for thousands of years of their devastating, horror-filled exile. It is because of them and their dreams that today I dream no more, because today I am going home."
