Edmond de Rothschild Partnerships

The Edmond de Rothschild Partnerships organization was established in 2016 by the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation to create a home for leadership programs for youth and young adults, and to serve as the non-profit operative branch of the Foundation, which strives to reduce disparities in Israeli society.

The values of equal opportunities, continuous learning, innovation, responsibility, and partnership inform and guide our activities and are also imparted to our program participants.

The EdR Partnerships organization identifies and trains potential leaders among young Israelis, especially from the socio-geographic periphery, with the goal of establishing a socially-minded cadre of future leaders from diverse backgrounds, imbued with the principles of reducing gaps, equity, solidarity, and mutual respect.

Our programs combine the pursuit of education and knowledge, development of social activism, and cultivation of self worth. The organization supports program participants, guides them, and provides them with personal and group impact tools. Specific emphasis is placed on social, ethnic, and religious diversity, and program participants represent the human range of Israeli society and originate from all populations across the country, from the Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.

We believe that through our programs, we can change the reality of life in the State of Israel, and are proud to have as partners numerous organizations form the public, business, academic, and social spheres.

Our Graduates

“Kav Hazinuk was the only space in which we were not ashamed to ask ourselves, at age 16, where we see ourselves at 26.”

Jonathan Kam

Kav Hazinuk 2016
“The program taught me that it is possible to make an impact on reality and my environment, and symbolizes for me the change in my perception – overcoming my fears and taking initiative.”

Avi Shulman

Kav Hazinuk, 2016
“BR Ambassadors is not just an organization, it’s home. And just like parents teach, educate, and provide their children with essential tools to cope in life, that is also what I received from the organization.”

Ashriel Mor

BR Ambassadors, Cohort 4
“In the first cohort, we were given the sense that we would receive the go-ahead for every action we will initiate, as long as it followed a process of thoughtful consideration and a deep dive into the chosen issue.”

Elad Shushan

BR Ambassadors Cohort 1
“One of the best things I did in my life was to stop at the ‘Masar’ station. There, I gathered the strength to change, gained energies, and embarked on my way with substantial new thoughts, knowledge, and dreams to realize.”

Lanna Saabneh

Masar Cohort 1, Wadi Ara Institute
“Kav Hazinuk is the place where you learn your own internal strengths. The place that brings out your very best to the environment.”

Tamer Atallah

Kav Hazinuk 2016
“For me, the program is a platform for strengthening local authorities’ economic and social resilience. And being ultra-orthodox -promotes trust building between the various populations of Israeli society.”
