What are the names of religious Jews people of all religions can look up to?

Today’s societies are extremely polarized along religious lines. One way that I think we can bridge the gap is to have some figures in each religion that we all respect and see as enlightened people. Many people across the world see the Buddha as a good role model. I think Saint Francis and the Sufi Rumi are great people. Are there any religious Jews, rabbis or mystics that you can think of along those lines? I’ve tried to find some but it’s difficult to as Judaism doesn’t seem to have the same kind of visibility as Christianity or Islam. Obviously, there are people in the Torah like Moses that could fit this description but I’d prefer someone who isn’t a scriptural figure. Ideally, someone who preached peace and was an activist. Thanks.
