Recent headlines have brought to light disturbing expressions of religious extremism in Israel in the forms of gender discrimination, racist incitement, and "price tag" attacks.


Behind the headlines, Orthodox changemakers are working hard to promote pluralistic, democratic and social justice values in their community and in Israel at large.


Engage with these inspiring activists, voices not commonly heard, who are instrumental in building a strong and democratic Israel on the foundation of Jewish values.
