Gal Gadot to join President Herzog for global Voice of the People initiative
Online event on 15th September will showcase strength and resilience of the Jewish people
Israeli movie star Gal Gadot is joining Israel’s President Isaac Herzog for the online launch of a global initiative celebrating Jewish unity.
On September 15th, ‘Voice of the People’ brings together Jewish voices from around the world to showcase the strength, unity, and resilience of the Jewish people in the face of unprecedented challenges.
The event will feature a live one-on-one conversation between President Herzog and Gadot, who will discuss the importance of Jewish pride and perseverance.
The programme will also feature Israeli journalist Tamar Ish Shalom in conversation with Daniel Lifshitz, grandson of Oded and Yocheved Lifshitz, hostages from the October 7th attacks and a performance by Michal Greenglick, sister of Shaul Greenglick, who was killed in action during the war in Gaza, paying tribute to the fallen and the sacrifice of so many in defense of Israel.
The symposium marks the opening of applications for the new ‘Voice of the People’ council, a leadership body that will elevate diverse Jewish perspectives on pressing issues. President Herzog will personally invite 150 Jewish leaders from across the globe to play a crucial role in addressing challenges facing the Jewish community today.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
