Development of Community entrepreneurship

Together with other organizations operating in this area, we lead community initiatives, most of which are developed in incubators for Jewish-Israeli community entrepreneurship. The initiatives, which are scattered throughout Israel, grow from within the communities and nurture them, expand the team of activists in the Jewish-Israeli culture, and can be replicated and implemented in additional communities and organizations.
