Spotlight on OGS Alumni in Action (Zoom)

About The Faithful Left:

The Faithful Left is a new stream of thought and action within traditional Jewry in Israel. We are members of ultra-orthodox, orthodox, and other traditional communities that emphasize our tradition’s skepticism of power and material superiority. We grew as a response to increasing racism, inequality, and militancy in our communities. We call for a return to our core principles and practices of faith. We do so through a commitment to rigorous Torah study and a commitment to individual and communal action.

About The Women’s Protest for the Release of the Hostages:

The Women’s Protest for the Release of the Hostages, a citizen-led movement that started in early 2024. Our sole aim is to urge the Israeli government to secure an immediate release deal. We are not family members of the hostages. We stand as concerned citizens who care about the soul of our country.

During the last four months, the group organized five massive marches, and other protest actions. This was the first civil movement to fight for the hostages, and motivated thousands of people to unite with the demand to reach a deal now.
