“I am glad that this year, the world final is hosted by Israel. Which, for us, is and must be a sister country. Romania has many historical connections with the state of Israel. Maybe we should have a common history to be taught in schools. I cannot forget that in our country there were countless Jewish communities, both in Transylvania and in the north of Moldova or in other parts of Romania. We have something to learn from each other, as brothers and, I hope, allies. I greatly admire Israel, which had the power to be reborn.”

“In modern times, Jewish communities have played a central role in innovation, whether in medicine, technology, or movements for social justice. The Jewish intellectual contributions to humanity are immense: names like Einstein in physics, Freud in psychology, Kafka in literature, and Spinoza in philosophy only scratch the surface of a far wider legacy. Jewish ethical thought—centered on justice (tzedek), compassion (chesed), and the idea of repairing the world (tikkun olam)—has profoundly shaped Western values, human rights, and our understanding of moral responsibility. (…) What’s remarkable is how Zionism combined vision with pragmatism. On one side, it carried the lofty dream of a homeland where Jewish culture, language, and faith could flourish freely. On the other, it meant the gritty, hands-on work of draining swamps, planting orchards, building towns, creating schools, and laying the foundations for a modern state. That combination of idealism and practicality—head in the clouds, hands in the soil—is part of what made Zionism so powerful. (…) Today, Israel is a dazzling modern success story: a thriving democracy in a turbulent region, a hub of technological innovation, medical breakthroughs, and agricultural achievements that have had impact far beyond its borders. Israel is not just a democracy — it’s an exemplary democracy, proving that a nation can be both strong and free, both secure and pluralistic. It stands as a beacon in the Middle East, showing what is possible when a society is built on liberty, law, and the belief that every citizen has a voice. The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, represents a wide spectrum of ideologies: from left to right, from ultra-religious to secular, from Jewish to Arab parties. The press is free, vibrant, and often sharply critical — again, a healthy sign of democracy. Citizens protest in the streets, organize civil movements, and challenge leaders without fear of disappearing into prisons, something that sadly cannot be said for much of the surrounding region. What makes this especially admirable is that Israel has upheld these democratic values while under constant security threats, wars, and terrorism. Many states under similar pressure would have easily slipped into authoritarianism. Instead, Israel managed to balance security with freedom, preserving the essence of democracy even in times of great strain."

“Jewish people have made profound contributions across many fields, enriching global culture and knowledge. (...) Despite facing centuries of adversity, Jewish resilience has led to vibrant cultural traditions, strong communal bonds, and a commitment to education and scholarship, with Jewish individuals earning a disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes (about 20% of laureates despite being less than 0.2% of the world’s population).

“Jewish people have made remarkable contributions to humanity across countless fields, leaving an indelible mark on science, medicine, the arts, law, and beyond. (…) Jewish inventors have shaped everyday life in surprising ways, giving us the transistor, the defibrillator, the computer mouse, and even the cell phone. From the invention of the Barbie doll to the creation of the teddy bear and latex condom, Jewish innovators have touched lives in ways both profound and playful. Their legacy is one of brilliance, creativity, and enduring impact.

Rather than succumbing to helplessness, Jewish communities rallied around the idea of rebuilding their ancestral homeland, reclaiming dignity and purpose. (...) The movement has had far-reaching effects beyond the Jewish people.

This resilience is rooted in strong social bonds, deep historical consciousness, and a culture that celebrates life. Israelis maintain high birth rates, vibrant family networks, and a shared sense of purpose that fuels optimism even in adversity. (…) Israel is a story of perseverance and possibility—a nation that turns challenges into catalysts for growth.”

"The Jewish people, though less than 0.2 % of humanity, have enriched every field they touched: they carried forward monotheism and the ethical vision that shaped Western morality; produced Einstein, Freud, Jonas Salk and 24 % of Nobel laureates; gave the world timeless writers like Kafka, Proust and Anne Frank, composers from Mendelssohn to Bernstein, and humor that turns adversity into laughter; rebuilt a scattered nation into a modern state while maintaining 3,000 years of continuous identity; and, guided by the principle of tikkun olam, have been disproportionately represented in civil-rights marches, refugee aid and global philanthropy, proving that a culture which prizes learning, questioning and repair can turn exile into excellence and survival into service. (...) Zionism is the national movement for the self-determination and statehood of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland. It saw Jews as a nation—like Italians or Poles—who had been dispersed by force, kept alive by religion, memory and a spoken-for land, and therefore entitled to re-establish a political home in Palestine after 1,800 years of statelessness. The idea took modern shape in 19th-century Europe amid pogroms and nationalist currents; Theodor Herzl gave it worldwide organization in 1897, arguing that only a sovereign Jewish commonwealth could guarantee safety from antisemitism and assimilationist pressure. Zionism fused many strands: secular-socialist pioneers who drained swamps and built kibbutzim, religious Jews who saw return as messianic first step, liberal patriots who drafted a democratic constitution, and refugees who had no other doors open after the Holocaust. (...) Israel is a tiny strip of land—half the size of Lake Michigan—where an ancient language was revived to build a modern society that is now a global leader in science, water technology and start-ups (Tel Aviv has more VC capital per capita than Silicon Valley.

It is a boisterous democracy whose Supreme Court can overrule its prime minister, whose parliament includes Arab parties that oppose the state’s Jewish identity, and whose citizens range from ultra-Orthodox Jews and Muslim Arabs to Ethiopian immigrants and LGBTQ parade-goers."
