These days we mark anniversary to the assassination of President Kennedy (Nov. 22, 1963).
I was 16 at the time. Half a year after the event, I published an article in an Israeli youth journal, Ma-ariv La-Noar (published June 09 1964). The subject was the significance of having a ruler of a country who is young vs. having an elderly one.
I can add today a third option, I did not conceive of when I composed this essay. Indeed, this is an option pursued by the elderly President Trump: Have an elderly “ruler of a country”; However, let this ruler be surrounded by mostly young talented people!
Indeed, an optimal solution!
I read the original article once again these days (60 years after it was published), and really liked it. So did my close friends whom I have shown this article from days-past.
The article is attached herewith as a PDF file (Hebrew). Feel free to increase fonts as necessary.
Enjoy!

I would have loved to have read the pdf of JFK . Nov 22 1963 . But i dont read Hebrew . It really sounded like ia great article as you stated in your introduction . I was 9 yrs old then . He was a favorite of my because he was so young & young family & gave such hope & wanted to end the Vietnam War & Go to the moon & America’s New Frontier & Camelot . Plus made the 2 dollar silver certificate & want major changes & wanted changes in Federal Government . It was one of the saddest & terrifying Days in USA & the World ! Can it be in English so it can be read ? Thank you & Shalom , Louie Parilla lparilla11@outlook.com

Thank you for the comment. I was about sixteen when JFK was no more. I share your sentiments about him. Regrettably, due to health reasons, I cannot currently engage in translation to English. I apologize for that. Cheers, Haim
