In recent years, the number of those who leave the ultra-Orthodox way of life and integrate into general society has grown. Every year, more than 3,000 men and women choose to leave ultra-Orthodox society and for most of them, it is a particularly challenging journey, as in many cases they do not have the basic tools and life skills required to integrate into the new world. .
Due to this, a number of people from the ultra-Orthodox society founded the "People for Change" in 2013 and since then it has been working with government bodies on legislation, budgeting and bringing the issue to the forefront and with people from the ultra-Orthodox society, to help and guide them in their new lives. The association currently has two community centers, in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where courses and workshops, Friday meals and other events are held. In addition, the association provides counseling and guidance services and operates a number of escort programs that are customized to the needs of the outgoing woman, regardless of their faith.
Nadav Rosenblatt, CEO of "Going for a Change", said ahead of the events at the doorstep: "Assisting people from the ultra-Orthodox sector is in the national interest and has dramatic implications for the future of the country.
This special day is designed to bring to the public's attention the good news of the exit movement, and its contribution to the country's economy and national resilience.
I am sure that it will help each and every one of us to recognize the complexity of the exit on the one hand, and its enormous contribution potential to our society on the other hand and to understand why it is in the interest of all of us to work for their full integration into society. "
