It’s impossible to pick 75 people to represent all aspects of a state of more than 9 million people, let alone to pick the 75 most important or most influential people, but these diverse 75 stand out across a range of fields to shed light on Israel today. The list is alphabetical, from Mansour Abbas to Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi, each with a photo, a mini-bio, and links for context and further study. Each person has a unique URL in addition to appearing on the main list page. Learners thus can approach the list as a whole to study the breadth and depth of Israeli society or do a deep dive into one person or a selection of people to gain expertise on that person or group for any kind of presentation.

 

As with CIE's other lists of 75, one excellent use of the list of current Israelis is to explore who isn't on the list but arguably should be, along with the related discussion about who could be removed. In addition, learners can gain insights into Israel's evolution by comparing this list with the lists of Israelis from history and of Zionist founders. How has the composition of the lists changed? Who has gained representation and influence? How has Israeli society and culture changed?
