“We educate students in the spirit of our motto, ‘Liberty and Responsibility.’ This means to endow the alumnus with the tools to do all that he desires without surrendering to limitations or waiting for the authorities to do it for him – but to do so in a way that clearly demonstrates responsibility for his surroundings and the willingness to act within them.”

Prof. Uriel Reichman

“The moment that Israeli society and its future are important to you and that there are things which are unacceptable to you, you want to help. That is what drove me to invest years of my life in promoting a constitution for Israel. I fought to change the method of governance and to create a situation where a basic law for human rights would be accepted.”

Prof. Uriel Reichman

“IDC Herzliya has always striven to cultivate the future leadership of Israeli society and the Jewish people. IDC Herzliya students are called upon to demonstrate national responsibility, which begins with helping the other. Today Israel needs great leaders who will renew and realize its vision. Everything depends on the state’s next generation.”

Prof. Uriel Reichman

“Israel is fighting for its existence and legitimacy at home and abroad. Rising to the challenges at home is no less important than addressing the problems outside. The silent majority, the productive citizens, those who serve, the national, the taxpayers – the Zionist majority – must return to wielding a decisive position in shaping the character of the Jewish state, its vision and its future.”

Prof. Uriel Reichman

“We are too small to be an average nation. We must be an excellent nation and IDC Herzliya is about excellence. That is its area of expertise.”
