Isaac Herzog has already described himself as "the president of the Jewish world," emphasizing that he has a duty to Jews around the globe as well as to Israelis. his personal life, his family life, his entire life have been an unbreakable testimony to this. His father, Chaim Herzog Z"L, served as the sixth President of Israel, and his Grandfather, Rabbi Yitzhak Isaac HaLevi Herzog Z"L was the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of the Jewish State.
The current President of the Jewish world - Isaac Herzog was named directly after his grandfather, the former Chief Rabbi. Herzog has been a vocal opponent of rising global antisemitism and he is in direct and permanent contact with Jewish leaders around the world and keeps to develop the "Kol Ha'am" initiative as his global consultation platform designed to assemble Jewish voices from around the world to discuss challenges and create actionable strategies for the future of them inside of the Jewish people.
There are nations that die and nations that flourish. There are people who voluntarily drown and people who always regenerate themselves. Jewish success is not always appreciated by everyone. There are those who like it and those who hate it. If many modern states reject the Jews, it is an option they must make bluntly, rather than taking refuge in deceitful language while using dishonest methods, often the same ones they have used for centuries.
The survival of the Jewish people is considered amazing and historically unique because they have persisted for over 3,800 years from Abraham, often as a small, dispersed minority, while outlasting major empires, facing constant persecution, and resisting assimilation. Their survival is often described as a defiance of historical patterns, where they maintained a distinct identity despite widespread efforts to destroy them, including in Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Spain, Portugal, and during the Holocaust.
Jewish people have made, and continue to make, significant and disproportionate contributions to the world across a vast array of fields, including science, medicine, technology, literature, philosophy, and the arts, despite representing less than 0.2% of the global population. Their impact is often cited in historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts, including winning roughly 25% of all Nobel Prizes.
Isaac Herzog continues to act not only as the first responsible for the inhabitants of the state of Israel, but also as the first guard for the entire global Jewish diaspora. He has been a significant figure in defending and strengthening Jewish communities in the diaspora throughout his career, particularly in his roles as Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel (2018–2021) and now as the President of the State of Israel~, and has consistently framed his leadership as bridge-building between Israel and world Jewry, focusing on fighting antisemitism, encouraging Jewish identity, and supporting communities security.
