Postcard to U.S. President: Tel Aviv

People in Israel send first wishes to the new U.S. President-elect Barak Obama.

Israelis speaking near the Western Wall in Jerusalem's old city ask U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama to be careful, to work for mankind, and to work for peace.

1. RITA, 66-YEAR-OLD ISRAELI, SAYING: "I wish him good luck, and I just would tell him that he should be careful. He is young. He hasn't got a lot of experience, and he shouldn't be naive. He shouldn't be naive."

2. MICHAEL GERSHGURIN, JEWISH MAN ORIGINALLY FROM BELARUS, SAYING: "I know that you are president of the United States, so please do whatever you can. Do the best you can to be a good president; to be good for Jews; to be good for all mankind."

3. RAMI, 54-YEAR-OLD ISRAELI FROM JERUSALEM, SAYING: "All the people who live here in Israel, we want to live in peace. We've had enough from fighting, and I hope that he will be our bridge for peace."
