The role of the Haredim in Israel is a complex issue that cuts to the heart of Israel’s character as a Jewish state. As the economic, educational and social needs of the Haredi community grow, positive grassroots efforts have begun to successfully integrate Haredim into Israeli society with mutual respect and shared interests and values. This session will explore promising initiatives among secular and religious Israelis to bridge the social, economic and political divide and the more complex issues of education, workplace integration and military service.
