New Spirit was founded to ensure Jerusalem’s rightful place as a young, vibrant, pluralistic and attractive city as befits the capital of Israel.
New Spirit is fighting the flight of young social activists and the creative class (ages 24-35) from the capital. They are central elements in the city’s economic infrastructure and serve as "agents of change," pioneering the fight for the city’s pluralistic Jewish character.
