===Israel=== In 1984, during a visit by the [[U.S. Sixth Fleet]], [[Navy Chaplain Corps|Navy chaplain]] Rabbi [[Arnold Resnicoff]] conducted the first Israeli presidential ceremony in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, held in the [[Beit HaNassi|President's Residence]], Jerusalem. [[Aura Herzog]], wife of Israel's then-President [[Chaim Herzog]], noted that she was especially proud to host this special event, because Israel had [[List of memorials to Martin Luther King Jr.#Internationally|a national forest]] in honor of King, and that Israel and King shared the idea of "dreams".<ref>''The Jewish Week & The American Examiner'', pg 37, February 3, 1986.</ref> Resnicoff continued this theme in his remarks during the ceremony, quoting the verse from Genesis, spoken by the brothers of Joseph when they saw their brother approach, "Behold the dreamer comes; let us slay him and throw him into the pit, and see what becomes of his dreams." Resnicoff noted that, from time immemorial, there have been those who thought they could kill the dream by slaying the dreamer, but β as the example of King's life shows β such people are always wrong.<ref>{{cite web|website= Library of Congress Veterans History Project Oral History|title= Arnold Resnicoff|date= May 2010|url= http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/story/loc.natlib.afc2001001.70629/mv0001001.stream|access-date= January 16, 2017|archive-date= November 18, 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181118212944/http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/story/loc.natlib.afc2001001.70629/mv0001001.stream|url-status= live}} At 1 hour 37 Min.</ref>
