The multiple challenges facing Israeli Jewish society call for a new generation of leaders — literate in Jewish and Israeli culture, respectful of diversity, and capable of engaging others in a thoughtful dialogue about Jewish life in the State of Israel. AVI CHAI continues to view with singular importance the development of such leaders who will guide and influence the various communities to which they belong. Through the years, we have targeted various populations, from across the religious-secular spectrum, in an effort to develop leaders whose language is based on profound Jewish knowledge and an equally profound respect of others.
