Shalom Beinenu is a non- profit, non-political organization dedicated to encouraging peaceful interactions between religious and secular Jewish communities in Israel. Our aim is to encourage mutual understanding and tolerance among the myriad social groupings and philosophical outlooks that shape the Jewish People.

We believe that we are all part of one people bound together through a common heritage and history. Our goal is to include people from all social circles and philosophical and political opinions. Shalom Beinenu strives to reduce tension between the secular and religious communities in Israel but not to change anyone's religious or political opinion. Since the organization's establishment in 1999 we have benefited from the overwhelming support of Economic, Academic and Community leaders.

We at Shalom Beinenu believe that tension between religious and secular jewish communities constitutes the premier internal challenge in Israeli society today. In order to reduce the potential for conflict, Shalom Beinenu has developed a series of projects that will encourage mutual understanding and tolerance among the divergent social groups of our society.

Shalom Beinenu's projects include:

• Home Study Groups
• Media Events
• Opinion Polls and Research
• Publications
• Educational Programs for elementary school children
• Promotion of the integration of the Hareidi community into the hi-tech industry
• Annual Awards to an outstanding organization that promotes mutual understanding
