Instead of the regular Bla Bla about how and when we initiated our 'amazing' NGO, here is the essence of our activities, who and what we are in 15 words:

Bema'aglei Tzedek is a youth-driven NGO that integrates Jewish values and social justice to effect meaningful change in Israeli society.


Now for those who are still reading - a more traditional introduction:
Over the last couple of years, many nonprofit organizations and grassroots movements have sprung forth to address the numerous social ills in Israeli society. None, however, connect these issues to the centuries-old Jewish tradition, which speaks of Tzedek and Tikun Olam. None envision a Jewish State as a state characterized by kind treatment of the downtrodden, a focus on equitable educational opportunities, and insistence on fair work practices.

Bema'aglei Tzedek was established in 2004 by a group of young and dynamic social activists who strongly believe that Jewish tradition has much to say about and contribute to the current socioeconomic discourse in Israeli society.
Bema'aglei Tzedek runs a wide variety of practical and educational initiatives on a national scale to enable the public to change harmful and illegitimate social norms through their everyday actions.
Our main project is the "Social Seal," a certificate granted, free of charge, to businesses that commit to basic social criteria: respect the rights of their employees and are accessible to people with disabilities. Correspondingly, BMZ appeals to the general public to patronize places that have the social seal.
In recognition of its amazing achievements, BMZ won Ernst and Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2007-8.
