Meet the new young pioneers who are leading a social and cultural renaissance in Jerusalem and who are shaping halacha lema'ase, a new fabric for the holy city. 

Jerusalem - a micro-cosmos of Israeli society - managed to develop in recent years a unique environment of social activism based on deep Jewish values. This environment is "controlled" by new leaders: secular, modern-orthodox and ultra orthodox.  By promoting a new agenda of cohesion, they are creating an inspiring vision for the city of Jerusalem, a city for all.

Kolot, the organizer of this unique group of young leaders from Israel, is a pluralistic Beit Midrash based in Israel and focused on building future leaders from a broad spectrum of Israeli society. This group has been studying together for nearly a year the big question: "Why stay Jewish"?
