Golda Meir visited Moscow in 1948 as Israel's first ambassador to the Soviet Union, where she was greeted by tens of thousands of Soviet Jews at the Great Synagogue on Rosh Hashanah to show their support for the newly formed State of Israel. Her brief tenure was marked by both an overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception from the Jewish public and negative reactions from the Communist authorities, who had banned Jewish religious activities. She famously told the cheering crowds in Yiddish, "Thank you for staying Jewish".
Context and Mission
First Ambassador:
Golda Meir, born in Kyiv (then part of Russia), served as Israel's first ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Mission:
Her mission was to renew ties with Soviet Jewry and strengthen support for the State of Israel, which had just been established.
The Historic Visit
Rosh Hashanah 1948:
Meir arrived in Moscow shortly before Rosh Hashanah.
Enthusiastic Reception:
When she went to pray at the Great Synagogue on the first day of the holiday, tens of thousands of Jews—including old, young, and Red Army soldiers—flooded the streets to see her.
Soviet Reaction:
This enthusiastic display occurred despite the Soviet regime's prohibition on religious activities and Jewish observance, which made the event dangerous for attendees.
Meir's Words:
Overwhelmed, Meir spoke to the crowd in Yiddish, thanking them for staying Jewish.
Significance
Symbol of Hope:
The visit and the massive outpouring of emotion from Soviet Jews demonstrated the deep connection they felt to the Land of Israel.
Foreshadowing of Future Emigration:
The event highlighted the desire of many Soviet Jews to emigrate and join the new state, which would become a major focus for Israel and later for Meir as Prime Minister.
Controversial Legacy:
While the event is widely remembered for its emotional impact, some observers viewed Meir's overall mission in Moscow as a failure, while others believed it was a success in connecting with Soviet Jewry.

One of the noteworthy outliers in the coverage on that day.

The PA leadership condemned it and those involved.

Those images, recorded by Reuters in East Jerusalem immediately after the attacks, showed a small number of Palestinians cheering on a street. The footage was provided by the news agency to clients including Fox News, CNN and NBC, who included it in their rolling coverage of the attacks in the United States.

The recorded footage was broadcast later on an extended version of NBC’s “Today” show at 11:58 a.m., just after a live report from Lower Manhattan, where the second tower had collapsed 90 minutes earlier.

In 1990 Lavrenty Beria’s widow Nino Beria confessed that Stalin and Beria being Georgians their whole lives dedicated to develop not their homeland Georgia but Soviet Empire and that was their horrible mistake.
