MOVING THE NEEDLE
Our “modus operandi” is to serve as enablers and conveners who strategize, create favourable conditions on the ground, catalyse coordination between relevant players, evaluate results and, critically, accelerate and marshal the necessary financial resources to enable high-impact programs to succeed.
We are focusing on three tracks:
EDUCATION
Our aim is to influence the socialization process of young people in Israel by incorporating Jewish peoplehood into their lives.
PUBLIC AWARENESS
ENTER aims to build a “peoplehood-aware” generation of Israelis and to intensify connectivity with Jewish communities outside Israel.
MEASUREMENT
ENTER aims to develop a “Jewish peoplehood index” which will benefit organizations and funders focused on Israel-Diaspora relations.
ENTER’S Main Projects
Since its founding in 2020, ENTER has created the following initiatives:
