Kolot

KOLOT envisions an Israeli leadership motivated by our collective history, shared values, ethics and moral teachings. We seek to enable our leaders to reclaim their Jewish identity with a learning experience that is pluralistic, current and relevan The Jewish People have always had a unique voice among the nations of the world. Our values and ethics are based on the teachings of Judaism. For the first time in over 2,000 years, Jews are a majority population and govern their daily life in own homeland. Jewish-Israeli voices are critical to the future of the Jewish People and the well-being of the world as a whole. Israel’s current leaders, regardless of political affiliation, are said to have lost the moral compass that guided Israeli's founding pioneer generation. While they have a strong Israeli identity, they feel disconnected from Judaism’s original textual sources. How can Israel's voice be a "Light unto the Nations," when broad segments of our leadership have no knowledge of the fundamentals of who we are as Jews? KOLOT seeks to increase Jewish literacy and thus invigorate Israel's most educated and influential lay leaders and professionals to create significant and long-term social change.
