Edmond De Rothschild Partnerships Information

It is a fundamental fact that Israel’s society is a mosaic of identities, cultures, beliefs and ethnicities. The people who make up this mosaic share the same space and must find the way to live in it together. This is a complex, challenging mission, especially due to the increased polarization during recent years of the gaps among the various groups in Israeli society. Together with this phenomenon, the social gaps and lack of equal opportunity are also expanding. These gaps are among the highest in developed countries, and only serve to deepen the schisms further, creating an atmosphere of alienation which in turns creates increasing difficulty in reaching a consensus. We at Rothschild Partnerships believe this mosaic is a prized opening for enrichment, learning, creating and building, in real time, a model that develops the fabric of a vibrant, dynamic life which in turn reshapes differences and sharing into a healthy advanced society where the shared good is empowered. A necessary condition for realizing this vision is to ensure equal opportunity for success at the personal level for every individual in Israel’s society, while realizing each person’s culture, ideology and needs. This is why we choose to focus our efforts on nurturing leading young individuals primarily in the socio-geographic peripheries. Our activities aim to assist them in developing social perceptions and provide them with tools that enable them to integrate in impactful positions in Israeli society, operating to promote equal opportunity, and structure a shared society based on solidarity and mutual respect. We view these young people as pioneers who seek to influence the reality of Israel’s life in the 21st century. , Investing in this group produces the best avenues for realizing the vision of equal opportunity and shared living. Our approach serves as the basis for defining our perception of the focal issues, our vision, and our objectives.
