Yediot Ahronot notes that in the past decade five Israeli scientists have been Nobel laureates: „This is an unfathomable achievement which can certainly be defined as Israel’s finest hour. It is also an opportunity to say out loud: Brain power is the secret to our existence.”

 

Ma’ariv suggests that, „The Yom Kippur War established a new internal structure. The state’s vulnerability, the nation’s attitude towards bereavement and the loss of trust in leaders are the results that shadow us until this day.”

 

Yisrael Hayom notes that almost all of Israel’s ten Nobel Prize laureates have voiced concerns that education and learning have been pushed from the center stage of the lives of the people of the book.
