YITZHAK NAVON CENTER FOR A SHARED SOCIETY

YITZHAK NAVON CENTER FOR A SHARED SOCIETY

“Israel is a complex mosaic of communities, cultures, traditions and values, where each yearns for recognition of its unique identity and contribution to society. The goals I set for myself were to increase national cohesion, strengthen identification with the State, and fortify the sense of partnership between all segments of the population.”

Yitzhak Navon, reflecting on his ascendancy to Israel’s highest office

Mission To increase awareness, understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of the “other” within Israeli society, with the intention of enhancing social cohesion, engendering mutual respect, and generating a sense of joint responsibility for the country’s future. Vision Israel as a shared society to which all its citizens feel they belong, to which Jews around the world feel connected, and which people everywhere admire.
