Leadership
Mr. Hillel Neuer
Executive Director of UN Watch, Geneva, Switzerland
International lawyer, diplomat, writer and activist. In 2018, McGill University awarded Mr. Neuer with an honorary doctorate for his work to advance human rights, and for being “a voice for those without one.” The Tribune de Genève described him as a human rights activist who is “feared and dreaded” by the world’s dictatorships.
Dr. Einat Wilf
Who is afraid of Zionism?
"While as Jews we might have a vague sense of belonging to a Jewish people that exists around the world, there is little that compares with the experience of actually seeing Jews from around the world sharing your sense of commitment and belonging."

President Reuven Rivlin
President of the State of Israel
To be a Jewish student leader is to inspire students to take part in Jewish life, to promote Jewish unity, while respecting our diversity, and to stand up for the rights of Jewish students everywhere.
As a Jewish student leader, you are facing many challenges. Antisemitism is rising around the world, anti-Zionists are working to demonize Israel and Jewish students sometimes feel afraid to identify with the Jewish state.
We must not allow extremists and anti-Semites, to deny Jewish students their right to proudly show their identities.
Unbreakable !
The Jewish Gender Gap.

Mickey Gitzin
Democracy : In Health & Sickness
"The ‘people of the book’ is the name given to the Jewish people throughout generations, because they have been able to adhere to values, morals and constant inquiry for the sake of discovering the truth, even in times of crisis and difficulty. These characteristics are needed by us today more than ever."
Rabbi Benny Lau
Jewish Values Of Leadership
