Reading a book about the 8th Prime Minister, 9th President, and Nobel Prize winner for peace Shimon Peres has revealed aspects about the leader which I was not familiar with.
I might not be aligned with his political outlook, but I have the utmost respect for his entrepreneurial spirit and success in negotiation. His efforts to promote innovation and advancement when Israel was in its infancy have come to fruition and led us to this day and age.
Peres was recognized for his diplomatic achievements and is known for his role in building Israel’s military prowess, its air force and the country’s first nuclear facilities.
- inspired by the book "Start-Up Nation" in which they pay Mr. Peres homage.

My mother is a leader, she is a role model, she is the first person I go to when I need advices, I am not afraid of her judging me, she is empathetic, she communicates and listens, she helps me and motivates me to see the bright side of things. Moreover she is part of the "team" but knows how to make things work out efficiently without us notifying that she leads the situations. To me these are characteristics of a great leader.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi, was born an ordinary boy with a determination to excel at what he did. After completing law from London, he became the most important part of the Indian freedom struggle against the colonial rule.  His policy of non-violence and protest through civil disobedience eventually succeeded when he led his country to freedom in 1947. His main characteristics were resilience, knowledge, people-skills, motivational approach and leading by example.
This makes in my opinion a great leader from whom we can learn a lot.

MLK is known as one of the greatest leaders in history as the leader and most visible spokesman for the Civil Rights Movement in America. He helped advanced the civil rights of African Americans through nonviolent acts that were inspired by King's Christian beliefs. Some of the principle ideals that King helped progress were labor rights, desegregation, and the ability to vote. I would say that his confidence, intelligence, and his speaking ability enabled him to become such a great leader and he even won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work against he inequality and racism that existed in America. We should all aspire to act and lead like the great MLK.

I think Shy is a great leader because he's very charismatic. Everyone can't help but be the Beta to his Alpha when around him. He is the group leader in every project and he always cares for those in his heart. A leader doesn't have to be someone famously brave. He can be simply a friend, who isn't afraid of what others think of him. Shy once said wisely, "Anyone can be the alpha. But it's easy for me because I look good". Wow. I wish I had that much self confidence!

Mike Eruzione was the captain of the 1980 Winter Olympics United states national hockey team. He lead a group american college athletes that ultimately won the gold medal by defeating the Soviet Union in what is regarded as the biggest upset in sports history. Normally, the captain of a sports team is either the most talented player or the oldest player on the team. Eruzione was neither of those things. What made him such a great leader was his ability to show his team that heart and teamwork is more important than independent talent. While Eruzione didn't perform amazingly on the ice during the Olympics, It was his off court contribution that was the biggest contribution to his team's success.

Rudy Israel ( Hebrew: רודי ישראל רושמן‎; born September 6, 1993) is an Israeli-Jewish rights activist.

Rochman's maternal grandparents were Sephardic Jews from North Africa and his paternal grandparents were Ashkenazic Jews. According to him, both sides of his family are of the tribe of Levi. Rochman was born in Paris, France, but moved to Israel at age 3. Two years later his family moved to the United States. In 2000 at age 7, Rochman experienced anti-Semitism after being physically removed from a bus in London, England for being Jewish; he has described this experience as the origin for his will to defend Jewish people.

Rochman enlisted in the Israeli Defense Force in the Paratroopers Brigade at age 17. Following his service, he attended the University of California, Los Angeles, but later transferred to Columbia University after seeing it was named the most anti-Semitic university in North America.

Rochman is a noted speaker and writer on Jewish rights. He frequently speaks on college campuses and to organizations that are pro-Israel. Rochman is also known for his work as a Jewish & Israel rights activist on social media. He has thousands of followers and subscribers on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.

During his studies at Columbia University, Rochman founded the school's chapter for Students Supporting Israel and served as the president. In 2018, Rochman received the 36 Under 36 award as a recognition for his influence as a young leader. In 2020 Rochman ran in the World Zionist Congress elections as part of the Vision slate. Rochman currently serves on the board of The Israel Innovation Fund, which is a philanthropic fund, and as a leader of the HaBayit organization, which tries to bring unity between Israelis and Palestinians.

Rochman has been working on a documentary series called We Were Never Lost, which interviews "lesser-known Jewish communities".

Arrest in Nigeria

In July 2021, Rochman and two other Israeli filmmakers were arrested by Nigeria's secret police, the State Security Service, at a synagogue while filming the We Were Never Lost documentary. Although not having political motives for their visit, they were suspected to be politically involved with the conflict between Biafran separatists and the Nigerian government after meeting with the Igbo Jewish community. They were released after being imprisoned for 20 days in reportedly "horrendous conditions" and "officially cleared of all wrongdoing".

Rochman is a Zionist. His argument about the state of Israel's right to exist is not based on religion but centers around the point of view that Jews are a people that are indigenous and as a group rooted to its land and that they have always wanted to return there since their expulsion by the Roman Empire. He views Zionism as a movement of decolonization and believes that self-determination must involve being able to control the land of Israel, protect it and self-identify with it.

Rochman has notably stated that, although "Jewish people's connection to a higher power and Torah is an essential part of their identity", Judaism is not a religion and refers to it as "a portable suitcase" that carries different elements of the Jewish identity, such as culture, traditions, way of life and "a connection to a higher power". He explains that religion is considered a belief system in a deity or god that can spread across borders and peoplehoods, whereas if a Jew rejects the notion of God and Torah or considers themselves atheist or agnostic, they are still part of the Jewish people.

Rochman opposes the two-state solution as the solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his opinion it doesn't fulfill the aspirations of either Jews nor Palestinians. To him, thinking that the groups can't co-exist and are exclusive to each other only maintains the conflict; Rochman believes that neither of the populations can be "liberated" "without liberation for the other" and both groups should build together "a just civilization as one that works for all".

Rochman is also against the United States foreign aid to Israel. He views it as making Israel dependent of US military supply and holds Israel from being militarily self-sustaining, which he sees as too unstable preparation for the future.

Rochman has criticized the way intersectionality has been misused as a tactic by Israel criticizing movements like SJP to "pursue its agenda of demonizing Israel" and "build alliances" with minority groups such as the LGBT community by equating their unattached experienced injustices to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is also a critic of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS). He believes that the movement's agenda is rooted in antisemitism and that BDS has contributed to the rise in anti-semitic incidents on college campuses.

Personal life

Rochman is trilingual. He is fluent in English, Hebrew and French. In a 2017 interview, Rochman stated he is a dual citizen of Israel and France and has an American green card.

I believe queen Elizabeth is a leader because she's been a leading icon for women and nations around the world. Her renovation of monarchy values (promoting their power and wealth towards charity, the environment, and other social issues) is inspiring. Moreover, she's the longest serving monarch and allows for the monarchy to stay relevant without seeming unnecessary.
