Metzilah - Center of Zionist, Jewish, Liberal and Humanist Thought

Maintaining the vision of Israel as a Jewish, democratic and developed state, protective of the rights of all its citizens, is a huge challenge. Current trends within Israel and the world make the challenge even more daunting and highlight the need for a clear non-partisan voice capable of promoting this long-term goal; a voice which combines an exciting ideological vision, sober strategic analysis and focused “real world” responses.

The Metzilah Center for Zionist, Jewish, Liberal and Humanist Thought, has just that voice. Specifically, Metzilah publishes and disseminates high-quality research and policy papers, reframes fundamental issues and communicates a factual, historical and ideological groundwork for thinking and acting. As a result, Metzilah’s authoritative research and the resulting policy recommendations have provided a base for action to Israeli political leaders and other influential members of the public.

We believe that public discourse, policy research and education hold the key to integrating Zionism, Jewish values and human rights in the Jewish State, and that the these values are critical for the enduring welfare of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide
