Coexistence, Tolerance & Diversity

"If we wish to create a lasting peace we must begin with the children." - Mahatma Gandhi

The Leo Baeck Education Center was founded in 1938 on the principle that all of Israel's citizens – Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian, Druze, Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Secular, Orthodox, Gay, Straight, Special Needs, Male, Female - are entitled to equal rights and equal opportunities.  Situated in the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Haifa, generally considered to be a model of Arab-Jewish coexistence, the reality is that while tensions are generally hidden beneath the surface, much work is needed to close the social gaps and encourage meaningful interaction. 

Coexistence, Tolerance, and Diversity are common threads that run through every branch of the Leo Baeck Education Center.
