Mr Rivlin continued his message with a discussion on the “Jewish spirit” and values.
“We, the people that dwells in Zion embrace you and send our prayers for your welfare and your good health,” he said.
He concluded by wishing the Jewish diaspora: “God bless you and keep you healthy. Be strong and of good courage.”
On Friday, the Board of Deputies thanked Mr Rivlin “for sharing this message of solidarity with Jewish communities around the world.”
Earlier in the week the Israeli president met the chairman of the Jewish Agency, Isaac Herzog, to hear updates about the Jewish diaspora.
Mr Herzog said that the video had “made a huge impression” globally, and that they agreed “on additional initiatives to strengthen the spirit of the Jewish people all around the world at this time.”
