MIAMI, Florida - The Hon. H. Ricardo Treco, Bahamas Consul General to Miami, was among the diplomats and hundreds of other guests who attended a celebration hosted by the Consulate General of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico on Thursday, May 14, 2015, in honor of Israel's 67th Independence Day anniversary.
The gathering, which drew politicians, local leaders and other members of the community to Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, included songs of prayer and speeches from Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Internet entrepreneur Jeff Pulver (founder of Free World Dialup) and Consulate General of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico, Chaim Shacham.

Shacham touted Israel’s strength in surviving as a state despite the unrest in the Middle East and the challenges it has faced over the years, according to an article on the event in the Miami Herald.
“I don’t think it’s just an achievement; I think it’s a miracle,” Shacham said. “The fact that we have not only survived for 67 years but have been able to develop and have been able to be one of the strongest economies in our region is something that is no short of being miraculous.”
