Today, in 1923, a great man was born – Shimon Peres, one of the founders of Israel, a prominent statesman, politician and peacemaker, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
His wise thoughts were the inspirations of the participants of Alef’s IV literary youth competition who accepted his words as a starting point for their future : “There is no place for small dreams”.
In 2010, when he visited Bulgaria as President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres sent the following message: “I can tell you Bulgarians – as long as we were small, let’s be big, because size is not a function of area and population, but of personalities , education and spirit. And Bulgaria is a blessed land with good and positive people. “
