Today marks 15 years since the death of Menachem Begin. When we reflect back we see a simple, honest man, who never looked for personal glory, wasn`t in the politics for the money or the rating.

He was a family friend , you can see him and his wife Aliza in the old photo`s. I still have a book of his - it has a hand written dedication to him by the author. Stories about him were told, and we learned to appreciate the great leader because of the simple man he was, because of his excellent Hebrew.
His last request was a simple one: to buried in Mt olives, next to his wife, next to OLI HAGARDOM in the ancient Jewish cemetery. Not in Mt. Herztel with the other prime minsters.
