The journey that Columbus began in 1492 led to a discovery that changed reality beyond recognition - a new world was revealed, a world with hopes and promises for a new life. Gates were opened for the dreamers who followed him and for all of humanity, gates for freedom and progress. Ironically, those rulers who sent Columbus on his journey, during that very year, denied the right to dream of other nationals. The Jews were expelled from Spain, and after years of wandering in the old world, many of them found their place in the new world whose gates Columbus opened. This is the thread that connects the fate of the Jewish people to the dream of one man. This connection gives the event a special dimension in the eyes of the people of Israel.
