@uriregev The gap between what Israel promised and what it's become keeps growing. Closing it starts with people who love this country refusing to look away.

35 billion shekels.

That's the Israel Democracy Institute's conservative estimate of what Israeli taxpayers will hand the ultra-Orthodox sector in direct and indirect subsidies — in 2025 alone.

@uriregev Diaspora Jews can't vote in Israel's elections this year. But this fight doesn't stop at Ben-Gurion Airport — it shapes Jewish identity and Israel's future everywhere.

[Hiddush @hiddush]

Chag Shavuot Sameach — to every Jew, including those that this government would rather not count.

Ruth said: "Your people shall be my people."

No rabbinical court, no lengthy process. Just a declaration of loyalty, and she was in.

And yet, the Knesset is pushing a bill that would mean someone like Ruth might not make the cut today.

[Hiddush @hiddush]

The Law of Return was supposed to be a bridge. This change would be like building a wall.

Ruth's whole story is about who gets to belong. This bill answers that question in the worst possible way.

@naamalazimi Next up is the major petition on the core curriculum, where we're seeking to make this the standard for all future funding of schools.

[Hiddush @hiddush]

The Supreme Court has ruled that government funding to the ultra-Orthodox school networks can only go to schools that teach the core curriculum!

[Hiddush @hiddush]

@naamalazimi This is an important first step. Until now, these networks received full funding with no one checking whether they were actually meeting their obligation.

The court is now saying: that's over.

[Hiddush @hiddush]

As we mark Independence Day, we hope to soon see the values of independence and freedom truly fulfilled.

Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach — Happy Israeli Independence Day!

[Hiddush @hiddush]

78 years after Israel's founding values were proclaimed to the world in the Declaration of Independence, the gap between promise and reality keeps growing.

[Hiddush @hiddush]

In the coming months, Israelis will face a choice about what kind of country they want.

It's time to support those who will bring Israel back to the path promised in the Declaration of Independence.
