While State Remembrance Day is sadly a source of controversy in the media, the Knesset and ceremonies over the nature of this difficult and charged day, the assassination of Rabin as a founding event was almost no basis for important cultural and artistic works, and it seems that the significant cultural works At their center. "

"Cultural works can be a bridge. Our society desperately needs such bridges. And the assassination of Rabin, precisely because he has such a bleeding wound in the heart of our society, needs treatment and healing. The undersigned, men and women of culture, spirit and society, call on the Minister of Culture, Mr. Hili Trooper, to lead a broad and multi-year process in which the Ministry of Culture will lead, in a cultural event that will deal with the Rabin assassination event, political assassination in its various aspects. That culture is an important tool that is second to none in the processing and shaping of memory. . In our view, these symbolic days, between the State Remembrance Day set on the twelfth of Cheshvan and the 4th of November,"These are the right days for an unequivocal and public statement by the Ministry of Culture not to oppose, encourage, support and bring about real change in terms of cultural action regarding the assassination of the late Rabin for the sake of Israeli society as a whole and for future generations."
