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

“Peter taught me how to build a story and how to take a broad-angled look and connect things to what is important and interesting for me. He was there for consultations and helped teach me how to cope with crises.”

Chen Sherlow Briga

Kav Hazinuk 2020
“For me, Masar was an irreplaceable opportunity. I learned new tools and skills and gained new awareness, both about myself and the academic world, and the ability to plan far ahead.”

Hiba Yunas

Masar Cohort 2, Wadi Ara Institute
“The training process combines the knowledge that all of the cadets bring with them, enriching the entire group’s knowledge and providing a large body of new knowledge in a group setting.”

Amir Egozi

“During the program, I gained insights into the challenges faced by the periphery in the realms of local government and education. This experience opened a new and challenging career path for me.”

Abed Elkader Yassin

Cadets for Informal Education 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 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
“Kav Hazinuk is family. One that makes you peer deep inside, without compromising. One that enables you to peel off and discover yourself—simultaneously hurting, sensitive, and strong.”

Shir Elimelech

Kav Hazinuk 2018
“I met amazing, wonderful, and creative people in the program, whose hearts are in the right place and who have the skills and abilities to change the world.”

Lirin Shay Goshen

BR Ambassadors, Cohort 5
“I take my amazing teammates and group members everywhere I go—the best-possible human assets.”

Hila Halili

BR Ambassadors, Cohort 2
“The program exposed me to communities and sectors, introduced me to key figures in Israeli society, and prepared me for work in a local authority.”

Natalie Birenboim

Cadets for Informal Education Cohort 1
“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
“It’s hard to imagine my life without Kav Hazinuk. The program was there for me and in many respects, led me to develop things I was not aware of before, ask questions, and change many perceptions”
