Democratic and Jewish, in Accordance with the Principles of Israel’s Declaration of Independence

Democratic and Jewish, in Accordance with the Principles of Israel’s Declaration of Independence

Jews and non-Jews can reach full consensus regarding the character of the state as Jewish and democratic, without derogating in any way from the state’s uniqueness as the nation state of the Jewish people, and without derogating in any way from the full equality of all of the state’s citizens.

Bringing Jews Together in an Age of Polarization

Bringing Jews Together in an Age of Polarization

The melting-pot of Israeli society preserves within it the memory of two thousand years of exile, wars, and pogroms.

Israel’s Role toward the Diaspora

Israel as a Jewish and democratic state has already become the center of world Jewish life, and its population growth and vitality will make that role even more important as it passes from 75 to 100 years old. It must, given its military prowess and growing economy, take its rightful place among the democratic states in what used to be known as the Western alliance or the ‘free world.’ And it must reach out to the Diaspora communities not to seek help but to offer it.

Opening: Israel faces three formidable external challenges: in Gaza, in Lebanon, and in the international arena. Added to this, the dispute over ultra-Orthodox IDF conscription threatens to set the Israeli street ablaze.
