A festive event marking the 20th anniversary of the Rabin Government took place at the Rabin Center at Tel Aviv University .
A tour of the Rabin museum which recounts the history of the State of Israel alongside Itzhak Rabin's life story, preceeded the event.

Like Rabin, the center transcends differences between right-left and religious-secular, providing a place for thousands of students each year to face and help solve differences in a peaceful manner. The central themes of the learning center are democratic values, tolerance and coexistence.
