Nachum was joined by Tamar Frei, Director Of External Relations at Kesher Yehudi, live at JM in the AM this morning to discuss Kesher Yehudi and how the war has greatly impacted the need for their holy work.

From the Kesher Yehudi website:

Kesher Yehudi is a social movement born in response to the rift tearing apart Israeli society. With millions of enemies who wish to destroy us and our land, we simply cannot allow ourselves to be divided and weakened from within. As a beautiful, lonely nation, we share a magnificent legacy.

The Torah and our Jewish identity are our greatest national assets.
Our unity and social cohesion are the keys to our national resilience.

It is with the fervent belief in both these statements that we strive to connect disparate groups.

How? Through kesher Yehudi – Jewish connection.

Kesher Yehudi builds awareness among young intellectuals from various sectors in Israel – religious, non-religious and ultra-Orthodox – prompting them to open-mindedlyget to know a partner from the “other” sector.

Our Jewish legacy belongs to all of us, and thus, participants in both our Mechina and Chavruta programs meet regularly to study Torah, the link to finding common ground and buildinglasting relationships.

In 2016, Kesher Yehudi received the prestigious Jerusalem Unity Prize from the former president of Israel, Mr. Reuven Rivlin, “for creating a unique platform with an enormous potential for engendering true connections and increasing feelings of unity, identification and mutuality among the Jewish nation.”
