Over 120 distinguished Jewish leaders, from 50 countries and a corresponding group of more than one hundred young Israelis gathered in Jerusalem for a meeting with Israel’s President Isaac Herzog as part of the World Jewish Congress’ Jewish Leadership Bridge for the Future. Herzog warmly welcomed the group, declaring, “The Jewish people throughout the globe our Jewish diaspora have contributed immensely to this nation building project that is Israel.”
Herzog said that "we are gradually losing points of contact with one another, losing our connection to the binding story that keeps us whole as one nation."
