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

Many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation and to the Natan Fund for their support of our efforts to increase tolerance in Jerusalem.
