Sarah Herzog

[2][3] In August 1917, Sarah married Isaac and assumed the title and responsibilities of a rebbetzin, or rabbi's wife.

[1] In his inaugural address as president of Israel in 1983, Chaim spoke at length of the influence of both his parents and of his mother, a personality in her own right.

[7] In May 1939, Herzog was active in protests against the "MacDonald White Paper," a British policy proposal for a single state in Palestine.

[10] After her husband's death, Herzog continued to be active in Israeli politics as an unofficial ambassador and in international Jewish women's organizations.

[1][13][14] An educational center in Bnei Brak for religious Jewish women is named Neve Sarah Herzog in her honour.
