Background

Established by ADL Israel in 2017, The Israel Social Cohesion Summit has become a leading platform in Israel for a national conversation on the country’s most pressing societal challenges. With the participation of leading politicians, journalists, NGOs, entrepreneurs and tech communities, the 2017,2018 and 2019 conferences were widely covered by the media. The last Summit held in 2019 gathered over 900 attendees including hundreds of 11th and 12th graders from schools representing Israel’s diverse population – Jews, Arabs, Druze, Bedouins, religious and secular.

It is important to note that for ADL the Summit is yet another example of ADL Israel’s commitment to building bridges – we seek to create a constructive dialogue and a civil conversation by convening all parts and giving voice to all communities in Israel.

The Summit is among the only major national conference in Israel fully translated into Arabic – a testament to ADL’s inclusion of minorities in Israel and our ability to reach out to them in their own language.
