Kesher Yehudi

Kesher Yehudi draws the different sectors of the Jewish People closer together by fostering personal friendships between secular and religious Jews and by providing opportunities for the study of Torah and various topics in Judaism in myriad ways Kesher Yehudi's modest offices are located in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem. It is from these offices, via telephone and email, that thousands (!) of mitzvah-observant young university students form relationships with secular Jews their own age. Men and women from the academic community, secular students and professionals, are invited to join with a chavruta (study partner) and open their eyes to a new world. As of today, more than 15,000 students, academics, employees, independent business owners and soldiers participate in this project and similar programs. Kesher Yehudi offers a number of programs for anyone interested in taking the first step and connecting to the concept: forming a relationship as a study partner via phone or email, attending chavruta events, hosting a secular guest in a chareidi neighborhood for Shabbos, integrated weekends for secular and religious people at a hotel, discussion groups on Facebook, and more.
