Andor Grósz highlighted the active engagement and community-building efforts of Hungarian youth movements, which Oren Zukierkorn greatly appreciated. Both leaders emphasized that the future lies in the hands of the younger generation and that it is crucial to equip them with knowledge, responsibility, and leadership skills. A strong community is built upon dedicated and well-prepared young individuals who can carry forward traditions and shape the future.

The parties agreed that continuing the dialogue is essential, and a follow-up meeting will be held in Jerusalem soon. The visit reinforced the importance of cooperation between the Hungarian and Israeli Jewish communities and their commitment to achieving shared goals.
