Educational and Social Tourism: Shared Living, Challenges and Opportunities

In the heart of the revitalized Kiryat Hayovel neighborhood, there is one large house, which is home to 35 organizations that promote multi-faceted Judaism in Jerusalem: Bait Rashut Ha’Rabim.

The goal of the Rashut Ha’Rabim – the Jerusalem Forum for Jewish Renewal Organizations is to make Jerusalem the capital of Jewish renewal by promoting moderate Judaism and turning Jerusalem into an open city for all its people, with the participation of diverse organizations from entire spectrum of Israeli Judaism.
