Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah aims to forge a sector of Judaism that successfully integrates a halachic lifestyle with active engagement in Israeli society. By confronting the questions that face Orthodox Jews in the ever-evolving Israeli state, the movement hopes to revitalize religious life while promoting a moderate worldview. On a national level, our goal is to strengthen values of tolerance, equality, and social responsibility, influencing Israel’s Jewish and democratic character. To accomplish this, the movement publishes journals and policy papers, organizes conferences and events, cultivates young leadership, studies the community’s educational institutions, and is active in the spheres of politics, law, and communications.
Our activities take place on three planes:
- Religion and State -Strengthening values of democracy, tolerance, and social responsibility in Religious Zionist education, working on campuses, cultivating leadership in youth movements, helping schools remain integrated, and overseeing curricula;
- Public sphere– Representing the Modern Orthodox voice in the public sphere through publications, our spokesperson, and presence in the media and on the web; and
- Education– Ensuring that Israel’s religious services and institutions are open, accessible, and democratic using legislation, the petitioning of the Supreme Court, and influencing public opinion to effect a change in the country’s religion-state model.
PROGRESS AND ACTIVITES OF THE LAST SIX MONTHS OF 2016
The first half of the 2016–17 year saw activities on a number of levels. Alongside our regular activities, many of our efforts have been directed at combating a new type of challenge: the haredi-leumi community has now organized and is running a variety of activities to try to maintain its principles in the public sphere—at the expense of other, more moderate views. Such initiatives are behind the fight against the Western Wall agreement, against the army’s desire to bring in moderate voices, and more (details below).
Religion and State achievements:
- We initiated a solution to the question of Shabbat in the public sphere. A group of four MKs from the large parties convened, formulating a bill regulating Shabbat in the public sphere in the spirit of the Gavison-Meidan Covenant with our assistance.
- We continued to push for a systemic resolution to the failing kashrut supervision framework; the bill we initiated on the subject of private kashrut oversight was discussed in the ministerial committee on legislation.
- Working with a number of organizations, we led a campaign to increase representation of women on religious councils. The attorney general then ordered that it should be increased.
- We continued to connect the role of local rabbis to their constituents; women are now appropriately represented in the process of selecting rabbis of settlements and regions. We also initiated a bill for term limits for local rabbis.
- On the issue of tax evasion and money laundering on the part of private kashrut overseers (Badatzim), we initiated discussions in the State Control Committee.
- We pushed for an increase in transparency on religious councils in the discussion we initiated in the Knesset’s Committee on Transparency.
- Following the indictment of Rabbi Avraham Yosef, the chief rabbi of Holon, we appealed to the Supreme Court for his suspension as a kashrut provider and won.
- We raised public awareness about issues in religion and state by holding a number of events about the need for civil marriage and lobbying in the Knesset.
As always, much of our work was in responding to issues that arose:
-
- When the IDF’s general chief of staff moved the department responsible for Jewish identity from the purview of the Rabbinate to the Manpower Directorate, an organized haredi-leumi protest movement began to exact revenge. Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah stood by the general chief of staff. Most of our work was behind the scenes, raising awareness with leaders and rabbis about the problematic nature of an IDF in which only certain voices about Judaism are allowed to be heard.
- We came out against Rabbi Yigal Levenstein, whose offensive comments about homosexuality did not reflect moderate religious views on the subject. Shortly after we spoke out, many other Orthodox movements came out against his views as well.
- We have been working non-stop to combat the recent attacks on children’s books distributed in kindergartens by Israel’s version of the PJ Library.
Public sphere:
As always, a great deal of work was about representing Religious Zionism through media exposure. Our activities included:
- Publishing 3 issues of De’ot on a variety of essential subjects
- Publishing 184 articles in the media
- Holding 14 events for the student groups on campuses
- Holding 3 medium-sized conferences and two large ones
- Selling/distributing 2,400 booklets from the Eitza LaDerech series for youth leaders
Religious Zionist education activites:
- The gap between general public schools and religious public schools was narrowed in the fields of mathematics, sciences, and, most noticeably, English. Much of this change resulted from research we conducted and activities we initiated.
Publication of an extended research focusing on teaching English in the religious education System. This has been done as part of effort to increase improvement, we believe we have few reasons to be pleased.
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/English-language-education-suffering-in-national-religious-sector-study-finds-444797
- Roughly 1,450 hours of discussions were held with religious parents for support and guidance on subjects such as integration and mixed, open religious education.
- The question of student selection in religious schools was brought to the fore.
- A group of 12 youth leaders was cultivated and guided.
- Our new education program began, in which we are working closely with 30 future leaders in the field of religious education.
- Dozens of textbooks were removed from curricula by the Ministry of Education
because they did not appropriately represent women in religious life. - For more than 30 thirty years we led the campaign for Talmud study for girls. In march 2016 we held a strong, vocal campaign (photos att.) A month later the Minister of Education Naftali Bennet announced he has dealt with the subject referring to promoting Talmud study for girls)
- A number of schools added Talmud studies for girls.
- A hotline about school payments has been active, giving information about what limits are placed on school payments—and thus preventing segregation in schools.
For furthermore deatails about our specific activites please see below
Education
Preventing schools from becoming more haredi by handpicking their students: After a year of negotiations with the Ministry of Education, we decided to turn to the media and publicize the system used by religious schools to handpick their students in contravention of the law. Using their system of selection, the haredi Religious Zionist (or “hardal”) schools are able to draw a liberal population that is looking for a school with children from a higher socioeconomic level.
The clip we created and released to the public made waves. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofZhXRxye-0 , and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLmIrOfKWUE
Creating communities around integrated schools: The past few months constituted the registration period for schools. We worked with dozens of parents’ committee leaders in order to reinforce integrated and mixed schools as they compete with the haredi Religious Zionist schools (see http://bit.ly/1YcMN34). We were able to change the registration trends in a number of schools and to provoke public discussion that thwarted the selection process in a number of places. dedicated many efforts to battle this, and we managed to block this in few infrastructures:
http://glz.co.il/1064-76614-HE/Galatz.aspx
we held a three days conference on Meaningful Jewish learning in a gender and sector mixed society
http://bit.ly/1XvzxGm
Schoolbooks in religious schools: We completed another part of our program to correct schoolbooks in religious schools. When we began four years ago, most books used for studying halachah and Bible included pictures of only boys; most maintained a perspective that was haredi. After many meetings and a public process that included working with publishers, supervisors, members of the press, and others, many schoolbooks have been disqualified and instructions on how to write books have been drafted. Attached please find an example of a new book being used in religious schools that includes girls and emphasizes a variety of ways of thinking.
Working to route government funds to social clusters (garinim chevratiim) on the country’s periphery: Having completed our research on the subject and held a number of internal meetings, we decided to present the improper division of funds for social problems to the public. Our primary claim is that money that is earmarked for supporting the periphery goes to some clusters that serve only to aggravate the social gap. We are currently working to correct the regulations that direct the support. Here is one Knesset discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHIT2WADAxE.
Working to route financial support of the Ethiopian Israeli community: Similarly, millions of shekels that the government dedicates to reinforcing the Ethiopian Israeli community are given to haredi Religious Zionist non-profits that amplify the gap and push the Ethiopian community out. We circulated data and are working with government representatives to find the correct criteria for distributing the money.
Second semester on campuses: With the beginning of the second semester, our activities on the various university campuses have begun again.
Among other things, our student group at Bar-Ilan University—along with local board members—led a protest against advertisements of Rabbi Alon’s appearance in Givat Shmuel. Rabbi Alon was convicted of sexual abuse and has shown no remorse. The protest had national significance and was widely covered.
Attached is a picture of the meeting moderated by Rabbi Yuval Cherlow. It was a meeting for the purpose of recruiting youth leadership.
Religious Services:
Position on Reform and Conservative movements: In recent months, we have expressed with the Orthodox media our belief that Orthodoxy must reexamine its relationship with the other religious streams. This subject is part and parcel of all of the following issues.
Mikvah: We continued to fight against the Mikvah Law within the alliance we’ve formed with a number of other organizations (Tnu Litbol B’Sheket, Itim, Avodah Shebaguf, The Advot Project). We worked with the media and organized a protest in front of the Prime Minister’s Office. We are involved in negotiations within the coalition to prevent the legislation from moving forward. Due to the pressure we applied, the law passed its preliminary reading but under very limited conditions.
Mikveh Bill (a bill proposal which aims at bypassing the supreme court resolution to open public mikveh for converts of 
reform and conservative affiliation. It also aims at strengtheningthe chief rabbinate's monopoly over local religious affairs).
We were the first to understand what has been planned, we updated the media and our sister organizations (such as Itim) that MKs of Bayit Yehudi have signed this bill proposal which was initiated by MK Moshe Gafni of DegelHaTorah. Attached is the sheet with the MKs signatures which we have captured and released to the press and to specific social networks, succeeding to hold action on this matter.This is a great example for what CAN be done in this Knesset – i.e. blocking deterioration of religious services from large sectors in the Israeli society – in this case – from the ritual bath.
Religious councils: As part of our campaign to change the structure of the religious councils and increase female representation (along with The Advot Project and Shatil), we circulated a video on the subject (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJxEYedx8xM&nohtml5=False). We are also in the process of preparing to submit a possible Supreme Court petition and a bill on the subject.
Kashrut: We submitted a petition to the Supreme Court that would compel the Chief Rabbinate to appoint a rabbi on the issue of kashrut in place of Rabbi Avraham Yosef, the chief rabbi of Holon, against whom an indictment has been served for alleged corruption.
We continued to promote our proposal for reform in the kashrut system and the regulation of the status of the Badatz (stringent kashrut). We have also been involved in preventing the promotion of a bill whose purpose is just the opposite—to strengthen the rabbinate’s monopoly and make it more centralized—submitted by MK Smotritch. As a result of the pressure we applied, the discussion on the topic was delayed until the summer session
State Control Committee meeting – private Kashrut companies will be sanctioned:
We have initiated a State Control Committee meeting which dealt with taxation of private religious services providers,amongthem are kashrut private companies (Badatz). This meeting is a follow-up meeting to a discussion we have initiated in the committee in July, forcing the Tax authority and Religious Affairs Ministry to take action against fraud and corruption in the kashrut market. Two outcomes to the meetings we have initiated:
- a) Private Kashrut comtpanies will be sanctioned and were investigated by the authorities. A senior official in the Tax Authority have noted the investigation has led to disturbing findings so far and there might be criminal actions being taken here.
- b) A senior official in the Religious Affairs Ministry has answered our call for a change in the employment of the Mashgichim (inspectors of Kashrut). Most of them are currently employed directly by the businesses they are supposed to be inspecting, which results in conflict of interests. The official has announced the Ministry has been working on a pilot to employ the Mashgichim through a third party, and that the pilot will be starting soon in Netanya and Jerusalem.
Shabbat: We are still quietly promoting a proposal for a broad regulation to regulate the question of Shabbat in the public domain. This activity is taking place within the “Forum of Four” that was born as a result of a conference we initiated in cooperation with The Institute for Zionist Strategies. We are also active in the Shabbat Yisraelit coalition, which plans to hold an inaugural conference in mid-June.
We have held, in cooperation with the institution for Zionist Strategies, a closed round table for MKs from different parties to deal with the Shabbath legislation proposals, including the initiator of the bill MK Miki Zohar of Likud, MK Rachel Azaria of Kulanu, MK Elazar Stern of Yesh Atid and MK Prof. Manuel Trachtenberg of Zionist Union. Rav Yaacov Medan and Prof. Ruth Gavison, the ones who wrote together the Gavison-Medan covenant, opened with speeches. The table was chaired by Tehila Nachalon Friedman, former chair of NTA.
A successful campaign on the matter of the Western Wall.Traditionally the first day when we pray for rain each year, the date was originally selected in consideration of the travelers returning abroad from their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This year, Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah chose the same date as one on which we would stand with Jews around the world—this time, on the issue of the Western Wall agreement. The agreement would have given a space for egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall; it was cancelled due to pressure from the haredi community. World Jewry, already feeling marginalized, became further estranged. Our campaign included a YouTube clip in which prominent Orthodox leaders spoke out in support of all Jewry and its right to pray at the Western Wall (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVyRkSyClfY). While Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah led the charge, we were pleased to have the Beit Hillel organization lend its support soon afterwards. The campaign began a more widespread discussion on the subject which continues today.
Partnerships, Involvement, Assistance, and Initiatives in Other Fields:
A bill on the subject of conversion; the status of conversion courts; discrimination against Ethiopian Israelis in Petach Tikva; boosting religious feminism; International Aguna Day; Jewish awareness education in the IDF; and more.
One Final Point:
Shmuel Shattach, the organization’s CEO, was chosen by Yediot Aharonot (Israel’s largest newspaper) as one of the fifty most influential people in Israel’s third sector.
PROGRESS AND ACTIVITES OF THE YEAR 2015-2016
- Strengthening Tolerance and Openness in Religious Zionist Education
Our goal in this sphere is to reinforce the dual values of Torah and Avodah in the Religious Zionist education system; our activities promote social responsibility, gender equality, integrated schools, and the combination of general and religious studies. To this end, we conduct research, lobby, create media campaigns, and work authorities to combat extremism and segregation. Some highlights from 2015–6:
- Cultivating English Studies: reinforcing English studies in Israel’s religious community, connecting it to Jews abroad and cultivating academic excellence. Over the 2015–16 year, we held meetings, conducted research, and held a media campaign. As a result, a wider debate on the subject took place and new directives for English education in public religious schools were drawn up. The Ministry of Education is taking the subject very seriously and supervisors are being dispatched to schools.
- Excellence in Scientific Education: raising the level of the study of sciences in public religious schools. This year, we held meetings and worked with the Ministry of Education to make sure the project was moving forward. A video campaign launched in October 2015 garnered 400,000 views and much attention, driving home the need for the program (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcW1wMYcDSQ). Minister of Education Naftali Bennett has been very supportive of the program. New directives have been put into place for schools and the issue is clearly on the public agenda.
- Enhancing the Study of Humanities: ensuring that students are connected to Israel’s literature, history, philosophy, and culture. This project is a new one; we are currently in early stages, conducting research before moving forward.
- Talmud Studies for Girls: giving religious girls the option to learn Talmud alongside the boys in their schools. Our campaign to raise awareness about the gender divide on this subject was so successful that the minister of education himself tweeted on the subject: “Talmud studies for girls—done.” A majority of parents in an elementary school can now demand that their daughters be allowed to study Talmud. While this is already being implemented in a number of schools, there is still much work to be done; we are only at the beginning.
- Monitoring Textbooks: ensuring that materials promote critical thought and reflect a variety of opinions and views. We worked closely with the Ministry of Education and raised awareness on the subject. As a result, the ministry took stock and reviewed all of the books. We were gratified to see that the ministry disqualified roughly 52% of the total books available to public religious elementary schools. A number of books were also changed as a result.
- Revitalizing Communities around Integrated Schools: creating communities around schools in lower socioeconomic areas in order to infuse the schools with a more integrated population. This year, we worked closely with 20 schools that were not integrated enough and had weaker populations. Moreover, we published the third section of a report on religious education, this time analyzing the elitism present in religious institutions and the Talmud Torah schools and garinim toraniim (mission-based ideological clusters dedicated to improving communities). As result of our analysis, many of the religious groups are shifting their approach to the work that they do, and requiring that the group members undergo supplementary training.
- Confronting Gender Segregation: working with parents’ groups, using legal action, and creating media campaigns, we were able to halt the planned gender segregation in 10 schools and to integrate segregated classes in another 10 schools.
- Preventing Schools from Becoming More Haredi by Handpicking Their Students:After a year of negotiations with the Ministry of Education, we decided to turn to the media and publicize the system used by religious schools to handpick their students in contravention of the law. Using their system of selection, the haredi Religious Zionist (or “hardal”) schools are able to draw a liberal population that is looking for a school with children from a higher socioeconomic level. The clip we created and released to the public made waves (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofZhXRxye-0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLmIrOfKWUE).
- Social Clusters on the Periphery: routing government funds to mission-based social groups (garinim chevratiim) working with communities on the country’s periphery.Having completed our research on the subject and held a number of internal meetings, we decided to present the improper division of funds for social problems to the public. Our primary claim is that money that is earmarked for supporting the periphery goes to some clusters that serve only to aggravate the social gap. We are currently the only group raising awareness about this problem and working to correct the regulations that direct the support.
- Financial support for the Ethiopian Israeli community:routing government funds to the community. Millions of shekels that the government dedicates to reinforcing the Ethiopian Israeli community are given to haredi Religious Zionist non-profits that amplify the gap and push the Ethiopian community out. We circulated data and are working with government representatives to find the correct criteria for distributing the money.
- The Modern Orthodox Voice in the Public Sphere
Promoting the presence of Orthodox voices in the media—on education, religion and state, women’s rights, religious pluralism, and other subjects. One particular emphasis this year was Jewish unity, due to a number of issues on the public agenda; questions such as the Western Wall and mikvaot—we highlighted unity between religious Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform.
This year, our activities included:
- NTA Youth: cultivating moderate youth leadership in religious youth movements and on campus. Toward this end,
- 15 youth leaders were selected and trained to work in youth movements.
- 12 campus representatives worked on 6 campuses (Tel Aviv, Bar-Ilan, Ben-Gurion, Technion, Ariel, and Hebrew University), running roughly 10 activities on each campus over the course of the year.
- Eitza Laderech: we distributed and sold 6,000 booklets for young leaders on issues in Religious Zionism. The books focus on such issues as Israel as a Jewish state, the non-Jew, and gender and modesty and involve the youth in a discussion that reflects a moderate, open, and tolerant worldview.
- De’ot: our flagship journal on the complex issues faced by the Religious Zionist community published 5 new issues. Subjects discussed included religion and state, the world of Torah learning, and the religious approach to other streams in Judaism. While our print distribution remained about the same (450 subscriptions and another 1,000 people who get free copies), the distribution on social media has grown both because of our new website and because of the relevance of the subjects. Our most recent issue dealt with the Orthodox community’s attitude to the non-Orthodox—at a time when the Knesset was discussing whether the non-Orthodox would be permitted in mikvahs in the country. Our electronic submissions service was put into place in May.
- NTA Spokesperson: charged with representing the moderate Religious Zionist worldview and keeping NTA on the map, our spokesperson generated approximately 30 articles or responses each month.
- Web Presence: we launched our new, more sophisticated, website, including tens of thousands of articles on subjects of interest to our readers.
- Conferences and Seminars: We held over 50 campus events, 10 conferences, and 4 evenings in homes. Our conferences and events are usually attended by activists rather than the general public; they, in turn, bring our message to the general public. (To see some of our lectures from the January conference, see: http://bit.ly/1XvzxGm.) Two particularly important events were the student activist Shabbat conference (attended by 70 young activists) and the seminar on civil marriage held for yeshiva, mechina, and seminary students (150 participants).
With the shift in political climate, we made the decision to work on each issue in religion and state separately, rather than trying to impose a new model from the top down. Toward this end, we worked with 20 Knesset Members on a regular basis; worked closely with 20 organizations; drafted bills; participated in Knesset committee meetings; sat on the steering committee of three Knesset lobbies; held 7 Knesset conferences; initiated 8 committee discussion in Knesset; raised awareness through the media; and more. Tani Frank, coordinator of the project, worked tirelessly to connect organizations with Knesset Members and politicians, effectively marrying the ideological with the practical to create real change.
- The Rabbinate’s monopoly on local rabbis:
- We ran a campaign to promote more diverse representation on rabbinic councils, including women—submitting a bill in Knesset, participating in committee discussions, meeting with Rabbinate representatives, and creating a survey and video clip (with the cooperation of Shatil and the Advot Project) that garnered some 150,000 views (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJxEYedx8xM&nohtml5=False). We are currently preparing to submit a petition to the Supreme Court on the underrepresentation of women on religious councils.
- We led the protest against the Rabbinate’s move to not extend Rabbi Riskin’s term as rabbi of Efrat. As a result of the protest, his term was extended for five years.
- Shabbat in the public sphere:
- We held a closed round-table for Knesset Members from different parties on the subject (Elazar Stern, Yesh Atid; Miki Zohar, Likud; Rachel Azaria, Kulanu; Manuel Trajtenberg, Zionist Union) with the participation of Rabbi Yaacov Medan and Prof. Ruth Gavison, drafters of the Gavison-Medan covenant. The table was chaired by Tehila Nachalon, former Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah chair. The group drafted and submitted a bill regulating public space on Shabbat. Word of the round-table went public in June (see http://www.yediot.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4819610,00.html). In a recent committee discussion, MK Prof. Trajtenberg made a point of thanking Ne’emanei Torah Va’Avodah organization for its initiative and involvement.
- We are leading a coalition of roughly 20 organizations on the subject.
- Working with a number of other groups, we were able to block MK Miki Zohar’s bill that proposed imposing huge fines on businesses that open on Shabbat.
- Kashrut:
- We drafted a bill to privatize the kashrut and regulate the private kashrut corporations. The bill was discussed twice and presented to a team advising the Chief Rabbinate; we expect significant elements to be adopted.
- We worked to combat corruption in kashrut mechanisms. We submitted a Supreme Court petition against Rabbi Avraham Yosef (chief rabbi of Holon); he suspended himself from giving kashrut certification. Moreover, the precedent in Rabbi Avraham Yosef’s case, made it possible for us to address the case of Rabbi Wolpe, chief rabbi of Rishon LeTzion. He is suspected of corruption and has for years made conversion near impossible for the many Soviet immigrants in the city. With a local chief rabbi suspended because of an indictment, there has been a certain shift; it has become clear that local chief rabbis can be suspended.
- We initiated a State Oversight Committee meeting on taxation of private kashrut providers. As a result, the Israel Tax Authority launched an investigation of Badatz certification providers for tax evasion. Moreover, a senior official in the Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced a pilot to employ kashrut inspectors (mashgichim) through a third party, avoiding the conflict of interest that takes place when they are paid by the businesses they are meant to assess.
- Marriage and divorce:
- We created a campaign for the religious community about the need for a civil marriage option in Israeli society. It included:
- An article giving halachic reasoning for a civil marriage option in De’ot
- Three seminars on the subject
- Events on campus
- A seminar for the 18–22 age group with 12 lecturers in a religious institution, geared towards those studying in yeshivot, seminaries, and mechina programs.
- A social media campaign about the rabbinate’s monopoly on marriage.
- Our big campaign—with research and a videoclip—will be launched in August 2016. Our goal is to raise the discussion in the religious community, explaining that religious coercion only hurts us as Jews; another organization will be raising the question within the secular community in parallel.
- Mikvahs:
- We opposed the mikvah bill, which limits access to certain people at Israel’s mikvahs based on the Rabbinate’s requirements, ultimately banning Reform and Conservative people from using Israel’s government-funded mikvahs (see http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Bayit-Yehudi-MKs-join-haredi-bill-banning-Reform-Conservative-use-of-mikvas-445284).
- We worked with partner organizations such as Itim, Tnu LiTbol B’Sheket; Avodah SheBaGuf, and the Advot Project. We organized a protest in front of the Prime Minister’s Office and alerted the media.
- We put pressure on the Bayit HaYehudi Knesset Members who supported the bill.
- We opposed the mikvah bill, which limits access to certain people at Israel’s mikvahs based on the Rabbinate’s requirements, ultimately banning Reform and Conservative people from using Israel’s government-funded mikvahs (see http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Bayit-Yehudi-MKs-join-haredi-bill-banning-Reform-Conservative-use-of-mikvas-445284).
- We created a campaign for the religious community about the need for a civil marriage option in Israeli society. It included:
As a result, the bill moved forward, but under far more limited conditions.
- Conversion:
- We initiated a “Conversion Day” in Knesset around Shavuot. Three committees and the assembly discussed the question of conversion; as a result, the Rabbinate committed to change the mikvah requirements for converting women and children.
- Jewish identity in the IDF:
- We used the media and participated in a conference to raise awareness about the need to move the Jewish Identity branch of the IDF from the auspices of the IDF Rabbinate to the Human Resources Department—which occurred as a result.
