Vision to Reality: The Reut Blog

The Economist wrote that traditional forms of Jewish support are changing. Isaac Devash, an Israeli philanthropist and entrepreneur argues that philanthropists “should stop compensating for the state’s failing and instead strengthen it by strengthening the society that upholds it.” At the same time, Israel is also starting to rethink what it expects of the Diaspora.

The Reut Institute has written about the need for a vibrant Jewish Diaspora as well as ways in which Diaspora Jewry could better impact Israeli society by focusing on government and market failures. One possible framework and context for refocusing Diaspora Jewish philanthropy in Israel is the Israel 15 Vision.
