Abstract:

"Israeli Hope in the Academy" is a program designed by the President of the State of Israel, Reuven Rivlin. The plan is based on the perception that Israeli society changes from a clear majority and a number of minorities to a society composed of four main sectors of similar size: secular Jews, religious Jews, ultra-Orthodox Jews, and Arabs.

Severe socio-economic gaps between the four major sectors of Israel's population led Israeli President Reuven Rivlin to launch the flagship program "The Israeli Hope." The goal of the program is to establish a sense of partnership between the sectors, to promote the qualitative integration of each sector in the Israeli economy, and to create cooperation between sectors in key areas such as education, academia, employment, local municipalities, and sports. The purpose of the program is to strengthen the sense of togetherness in Israeli society while respecting each unique group from which it is composed. As such, "Israeli Hope" has several sub-fields, each focusing on another aspect of society. "Israeli Academic Hope" promotes a diverse and culturally diverse academic world.

The program promotes a higher and culturally diverse education system that promotes partnership. One of the means to achieve this goal is to create meaningful educational interactions between academics and the younger generation of the sectors.
