Jerusalem / New York – March 15, 2026 — In a powerful and deeply meaningful tribute, President Isaac Herzog of the State of Israel formally recognized the leadership and impact of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce (OJCC) and its Founder & CEO, Duvi Honig, in an official letter issued from Jerusalem on March 15, 2026.
The letter, released in honor of the 35th Annual Shuvu Dinner, highlights the Chamber’s growing influence and Honig’s role in strengthening the bond between Israel and Jewish communities worldwide.
President Herzog wrote:
“The choice to recognize Duvi Honig, Founder & CEO of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, as this dinner’s Guest of Honor, reflects Duvi’s tireless dedication to strengthening the people of Israel and the future of our nation.”
He further emphasized the broader impact of Honig’s leadership, noting:
“Through his leadership and devotion, Duvi has successfully deepened the bond between Israel and Jewish communities around the world, while mobilizing meaningful support for the Jewish democratic State of Israel. Duvi is more than worthy of the acknowledgment he is receiving tonight.”
The recognition underscores the growing role of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce as a national and international force—bridging government, business, and community leadership to drive economic growth, advocacy, and global partnerships.
Under Honig’s leadership, the Chamber has spearheaded major initiatives across public policy, economic development, and humanitarian efforts, while building strategic relationships with senior government officials, international leaders, and corporate executives.
President Herzog’s letter was issued in the context of Shuvu’s mission—Israel’s largest private-sector Jewish school system—which he praised for ensuring access to meaningful Jewish and Torah education for thousands of children across more than 60 schools.
The President concluded with a broader message of unity and purpose:
“May all those who partake in this sacred calling be blessed, and may we all be privileged to celebrate Passover in freedom, health and unity.”
This recognition further cements the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce’s position as a leading institution advancing the interests of Jewish communities, fostering global collaboration, and strengthening Israel’s connection with the Diaspora.
