Operational Strategies
The Sapir Center’s unique contribution to the development of the field of Israeli Judaism is expressed by its systemic and strategic vision and in the strengthening of professional and organizational infrastructures via the following operational strategies:
Development of Jewish-Israeli Community Models
We strive to develop models of Jewish-Israeli communities. Development of the models is based on the experience accumulated in this field and from the projects in which we are involved. This enables to replicate success stories, to limit mistakes, and to apply the knowledge in new and wider circles.
Development of Community entrepreneurship
Collaborations and Pooling Resources
Most of the field of Israeli Judaism is made up of relatively small organizations. Collaborations between them can help organizations with similar goals achieve their objectives. We are promoting collaborations between organizations operating in the field and funding entities and entrepreneurs and leaders of conferences and panels on relevant subjects.
Research and Mapping
We strive to strengthen the area of Jewish-Israeli culture by mapping the existing situation and the potential for relevant activity in this field, and via instigation of a research infrastructure and research accompaniment of actual implementation. Research knowledge constitutes a vital infrastructure for the field’s continued development, direction of community and cultural activity, an accurate picture of the diverse activity in the field, and increased precision of optimal work practices.
Content Development
We aim to develop, gather, and publish content on Israeli Jewish culture that can inspire and offer practical methods for developing Jewish-Israeli culture for communities and organizations.
The content is based on a connection between Jewish culture and contemporary values and lifestyles, to strengthen the relevance of Jewish culture in our times.
