WATCH: Saudi Arabia Chief Rabbi discusses Judaism in Gulf nation
Rabbi Jacob Herzog describes his life in Saudi Arabia as uniquely warm and surprisingly welcome, where an openly Orthodox Jew finds respect, curiosity, and space to quietly build Jewish life in a place once thought unimaginable for it to exist.
DISCLAIMER: Chabad does not recognise Rabbi Herzog’s house in Saudi Arabia, and has severed all connection with him.
“The relationship between Jews and Muslims long predates the establishment of the State of Israel. We share a deep and intertwined history in this region," says Rabbi Jacob Herzog.
