It is the responsibility of the community, society, and state to care for their most vulnerable. This duty is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and based on the principle of collective responsibility for meeting the basic needs of all. We fight for the right to live with dignity and without deprivation, grounded in the belief that this obligation belongs not only to individuals, but to society as a whole.

The Activists’ Network for a Life of Dignity is a nationwide network of social activists representing marginalized communities. They bring their voices, experiences, and knowledge directly to decision-makers, aiming to influence both local and national policy. We lead the network together with the Forum for the Struggle Against Poverty and local Social Justice Centers.

Another unique initiative is “Vehechezakta” (You Shall Uphold Him), a partnership between the Reform congregation Tefilat HaAdam in Caesarea and the Ozma Welfare Center in Or Akiva. Families from the congregation partnered with families in public housing served by Ozma, building mutual relationships of solidarity, reciprocity, and community support.
