Jonathan Davis

In the 25th year of IDC Herzliya (Reichman University), we sat down with our partners to hear from them how it all began.

“This place was built in order to contribute to the State of Israel, to the Jewish people, and to the world in general.”

Jonathan Davis, Vice President for External Relations and Head of the Raphael Recanati International School, joined IDC Herzliya 18 years ago. Davis served as a lone soldier in a reconnaissance unit of the Paratroopers' Brigade. After his military service, he was sent as an envoy of the State of Israel to the Former Soviet Union and as a Jewish Agency emissary to Cape Town, Boston and Rome. In his role he continues to contribute to the deepening of the connection between Israel and the Diaspora.
