Our chaplains help people identify their unique sources of meaning and inner strengths.

Yerushalmim: for a Vibrant & Pluralistic Jerusalem

Yerushalmim is a not-for-profit civic organization working s to build Jerusalem as a vibrant, pluralistic and inclusive city, which will reflect the great human richness of all its people, help them live together with all their differences, provide a high quality of life for its citizens, and attract new and dynamic residents. In so doing, we will restore Jerusalem to its central place as the capital of all of Israel, and of world Jewry.

Yerushalmim was founded in 2009 by a group of young Jerusalemite activists and professionals, religious and secular, who realized civil society must be mobilized to reverse negative directions in which the city is headed: high poverty levels, the steady exit of young professionals, and increasing religious extremism in its public sphere.

Our activities in the last year have focused on two main fields: The struggle against religious extremism and gender segregation and promoting the status of young families in Jerusalem.
