|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the people of Israel and supporters of Israel from |
|
|
throughout Texas, Israel, and the United States on the occasion |
|
|
of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, which is taking place in |
|
|
Houston on February 24, 2023, and to join in celebrating 2023 as |
|
|
the 75th anniversary of Israel's independence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lone Star State has always been a steadfast |
|
|
supporter of the historic alliance between Israel and the United |
|
|
States, and Texas has long enjoyed a cordial and mutually |
|
|
beneficial relationship with Israel and her people; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast in Houston is an |
|
|
opportunity for the broad expanse of Texas-based organizations |
|
|
dedicated to the support of Israel to gather and to join with |
|
|
citizens and public leaders in uplifting Israel in prayer and in |
|
|
celebrating the 75th anniversary of Israel's independence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Taking part in this special occasion are a number |
|
|
of exemplary Texas-based groups unified in their recognition and |
|
|
committed support of Israel, including such organizations as |
|
|
America for Israel and the Texas-Israel Alliance; the efforts of |
|
|
these groups and of such entities as the Israeli Consulate |
|
|
General of the Southwest in Houston have continued to strengthen |
|
|
the close ties between Israel and Texas, and it is indeed fitting |
|
|
that this important connection be celebrated and honored; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|

|
|
attendees of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast on their invaluable |
|
|
contributions to the shared bond between Texas and Israel and |
|
|
extend to all associated with the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast best |
|
|
wishes for a fruitful and rewarding gathering; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
