Increasing Tolerance in Kiryat Hayovel between, Secular and Haredi Jews

As part of our activities to increase tolerance throughout Jerusalem, we’re also helping secular and Haredi Jews live better together in Kiryat Hayovel.

Haredim and secular Jews refuse to be enemies!

For example, last month these signs started popping up all around Kiryat Hayovel. These signs are a response to posters that had been put up against the Haredi population there.

The new signs included messaging such as, “Haredim and secular Jews refuse to be enemies,” and added hope to the streets of Kiryat Hayovel.

In addition to these signs, over the past few months we’ve been working with groups of Haredi and secular (and all those in the middle) Jews in Kiryat Hayovel, in a number of initiatives, from parenting issues for fathers, regular meetings for women, soccer, and much more. Stay tuned!

New MiniActive Web Site

The MiniActive Network of Palestinian Women Volunteers has become a powerhouse of effective activism in East Jerusalem over the past seven years.

Until now, their main avenue of getting the word out has been their Facebook page. You’ve also been able to read about them and get updates from our web site (link above), our blog, and on 0202 – Points of View from Jerusalem.

Now, they have their very own web site.

Here’s the link, and here’s a look. The Google Translate Chrome extension can help to understand the Arabic.

Take a look at MiniActive's new web site!
