Do you live in Jerusalem?

Join Our Cross-Community Committees

Communities that Care About Jerusalem

The first innovative Cross-Community Leadership Committee was comprised of more than twenty social workers, religious-figures, teachers and others, from the Armenian, Ethiopian, Religious, Secular, Muslim, Christian, and other sectors.   The meetings serve as a thrilling platform of discussion and sharing, as we move from our visions for Jerusalem, to more practical discussions on specific urban issues for the improvement of the life-conditions of all of Jerusalem’s residents.
