Sheldon Adelson’s values and vision will live on

It is a kaleidoscope of traits that makes the modern State of Israel a miracle, each and every day, just like Herzl himself was a study in contrasts.

Living life—living the right way, with self-fulfillment and dignity—is a choice. Sheldon knew that better than most.
