we need you!

Our global Jewish community is unique, diverse, and innovative. In the wake of October 7th, it has become more important than ever to come together and tap into our shared ingenuity.

 

That’s the vision behind H.E President Isaac Herzog’s Voice of the People initiative: forming a council of Jewish individuals from around the world to meet and creatively address the biggest challenges facing our people.

 

This is your chance to make your voice heard — and make a difference.
