Isaac Herzog, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel:
“I am the grandson of the first Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yitzhak Isaac HaLevi Herzog zt”l, the son of the sixth President of Israel, Chaim Herzog z”l and the nephew of Abba Eban z”l, diplomat and statesman. I am following their footsteps in the service of the Jewish people, in Israel and throughout the Diaspora. This service is an innate part of who I am, of my identity. We are but a small nation of 14.5 million in an ocean of seven billion people living on this earth and have a moral obligation to keep our people united. Now more than ever. As we see the rise of anti-Semitism all around the world, we understand more and more the obligation we have to uphold the unity of our people reinforce the relevancy of Israel for the Jewish people as a vibrant democracy.”
