Jose United

The movement focuses on creating interfaith bridges and social connections through three channels: Culture—producing, publishing and establishing community centers for content representing the liberal and cosmopolitan side of Judaism as a light unto nations; Tolerance (interfaith bridge)—activism, study and social meetings, cultural and artistic events—to create interfaith bridges and cooperation in Israel and worldwide; Justice and human rights—concern for rights and living conditions, legal and bureaucratic assistance, and publication for populations weakened by religious and cultural background—both collectively and individually. The organization addresses the reality that society is undergoing economic and cultural crises amid deep processes of societal and identity questioning. As individuals embark on journeys of inquiry and reflection, thirst for cosmopolitan society and culture arises—as protest, healing, supportive, collaborative and creative—and is sought as a source of living water. As society is rewoven through connections transcending religious tension, political affinity or gender definitions, it is healed and builds a new world inclined toward cosmopolitanism and human rights values, as society becomes a productive community contributing meaningfully to global society
