Herzog’s Voice of the People opens cohort application window

Voice of the People, a global Jewish leadership initiative founded by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, opened applications on Wednesday for its second cohort. The program seeks 150 participants from Israel, North America, and other Diaspora communities to address key challenges facing the Jewish people. Established in 2023, the initiative aims to foster relationships, understanding, and practical solutions among Jews from diverse backgrounds. President Herzog stated, “The strength of the Jewish people has always come from our ability to remain connected across differences of geography, tradition and perspective,” inviting Jews worldwide to contribute. Applicants must be Jewish, at least 21, proficient in English, and demonstrate leadership potential, with selections aided by AI to ensure diversity. Applications close on October 12 for the 16-month program.
