I see myself as a former politician, and in that capacity, I say to other politicians, 'Hold back.'
From Reuven Rivlin
One cannot tell the High Court what to adjudicate. They must judge, and then the legislature must act accordingly.
When we come to the hospital to give birth, we don't come as a Jew or an Arab; we come as a human being.
Israeli society is comprised of four principal tribes growing closer in size.
The burden is on the Jewish majority in Israel to prove that the definition of their country as Jewish and democratic is not a contradiction.
The relationship between the Jews and Arabs is necessary to help build a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians.
The idea that the State of Israel could be democracy only for its Jewish citizens is unconscionable, and we must find a way to address this.
It pains me to see the gap that exists in the public's consciousness - religious and secular - between the notion of Israel as a Jewish state and as a democratic state.
I believe that our democratic values are also born out of our Jewish faith, a 'love for the stranger,' and equality before the law - these are not foreign values: this is Judaism.
We are one family, and the connection between all Jews, all over the world, is very important to the State of Israel.
