President Isaac Herzog hosted religious leaders in Israel on Thursday evening and issued a joint call for worldwide vaccination against COVID-19.
Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Druze and Baháʼí leaders joined Herzog at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem to stress that “the sanctity of life is a supreme value for religions and the saving of the life of any human being — all created in the image of God — is the greatest religious obligation of all.”
“It is manifestly clear that the mass vaccination of entire populations is our primary tool for defeating this terrible pandemic,” the statement read.
Joining Herzog at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem were Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef; Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi David Lau; Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III; Latin Patriarch Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa; President of the Shari’a Court of Appeals Sheikh Abed Elhakim Samara; Druze Community Leader Sheikh Mouafaq Tarrif; Head of the Greek Catholic Church, Haifa and the Galilee Archbishop Dr. Yosef Mata; Head of the Muslim Department in the Interior Ministry Sheikh Ziad Abu Moch; Inspector of Imams in the Interior Ministry Sheikh Jamal Al Obra; and Secretary-General of the Baháʼí Movement in Israel, Dr. David Rutstein.
