An initiative of President Isaac Herzog, the aim of Kol Ha’am is to create a “Jewish Davos” – a collaborative forum for Jewish representatives from around the world to engage in complex and sensitive discussions regarding the future of the Jewish people. The conference was jointly held by the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA), the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and the World Zionist Organisation (WZO). In his video message to delegates, Herzog cited global Jewry’s own “polarisation and alienation from one another” as the greatest threat to the Jewish people. We are a thriving and accomplished people, connected by ties – historic ties, religious ties, family ties – that stretch across the globe over millennia,” he said. “Kol Ha’am aims to create a platform where the voices of our global Jewish family can be heard, where ideas and perspectives can be exchanged freely,” she said.
