About the Alumni Network

The Edmond de Rothschild Partnerships’ Alumni Network is composed of more than 1,200 alumni of its young leadership programs, including Kav Hazinuk, The Cadets Program, Masar, BR Ambassadors, and Cadets for the Local Government. Each year, 120 programs alumni join the network, which thus continues to evolve while retaining a dynamic and innovative spirit.

The Alumni hail from different and varied backgrounds, reflecting the religions and religiosity, geographical range, types of communities, cultures, and genders represented in Israeli society. This diverse human fabric enables fulfilling the network’s vision and its members’ aspirations and goals. Our alumni affirm that the tools they acquired through the various program, along with the diverse human interactions they experienced, continue to exert a lasting influence on them and mold their paths post-participation.

The network’s alumni lead a number of professional forums and task forces that address networking, reducing gaps, social mobility, positions of influence, and more. In addition, courses and dedicated meetings are held throughout the year for the members and to strengthen Israeli society.

Our Graduates

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
