Page "Israeli Declaration of Independence" Paragraph 25

The final draft of the declaration was typed at the Jewish National Fund building following its approval earlier in the day.

Ze ' ev Sherf, who stayed at the building in order to deliver the text, had forgotten to arrange transport for himself.

Ultimately, he had to flag down a passing car and ask the driver ( who was driving a borrowed car without a license ) to take him to the ceremony.

Sherf's request was initially refused but he managed to persuade the driver to take him.

The car was stopped by a policeman for speeding while driving across the city though a ticket was not issued after it was explained that he was delaying the declaration of independence.

Sherf arrived at the museum at 15: 59.
