Intro to Religion

There are many organizations which are working on healing relations between religious and secular Jews in Israel and they are using a large variety of approaches for tackling the issue. Although many of these organizations have been around for quite a few years, since the Rabin assassination new organizations have been created and pre-existing ones have become more active. They can be divided into roughly three categories: political, conflict-driven and educational.

One challenge that many organizations face is attracting people to their programs- particularly the ultra-orthodox. The influence of the media in inflaming perceptions and encouraging stereotypes is another area that is identified as a challenge.
