Excerpt: Chaim Herzog (Hebrew:, 17 September 1918 17 April 1997) served as the sixth President of Israel (19831993), following a distinguished career in both the British Army and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Herzog was born at Clifton Park Avenue in Belfast, Ireland, the son of notable Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, who was Chief Rabbi of Ireland from 1919 to 1937 (and later, of Palestine and Israel).
