The Yod Bet B'Heshvan Forum

Forum Yod Bet b'Heshvan was founded in the month of Iyyar, May, 2007 by religious Zionist organizations, together with individuals representing a broad political spectrum, in order to encourage tolerance and openness.

The forum will work to enlist public and financial support in order to support synagogues, youth movements, schools, yeshivot, ulpanot, and midrashot and intellectual movements that work to educate and encourage love of Torah, love of Israel, and love of fellow man. The forum will also work to deepen the existence of the State of Israel as a democratic, moral, and ethical Jewish state. It will educate to respect and honour the institutions of the country, its symbols, and its leadership, and will strive towards openness and tolerance towards other attitudes within Israeli society.
