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

“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”

Ori Berwald Shaer

Kav Hazinok 2012
“The ‘Masar’ program contributed considerably to my personal development. It helped me discover my true self, to internalize principles and values that I believe in, and hold my own when necessary.”

Samma Halaila

Masar, Cohort 1, Araba 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

Cadets for Urban Planning, Cohort 5
“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
“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
“The training program is an incubator for learning, enrichment, and engagement with a multitude of fields and issues—where I acquired tools that continue to guide me in my current role.”

Zohar Har Paz

“To me, the program is a gateway to becoming actively involved in public service and shaping the work of the local authorities. It’s a place that fosters transformative leadership and professionalism.”

Fenta Fenta

Cadets for Local Government Cohort 6
“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 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
“At Kav Hazinuk I learned not to take things for granted. Getting out of my comfort zone and learning new things have become a part of daily life for me.”

Sara Tariff

Kav Hazinuk 2019
“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
“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.”
