Rashi's Business Forum

Rashi’s Business Forum is based on a commitment to forming a more equal and resilient Israeli society through shared responsibility. It was established out of recognition of the business community’s key role in shaping Israel’s future, and of the importance of working together to create meaningful social change – through ideas, resources and action.

A strategic partnership for the future of Israeli society
The forum includes leading figures from across the business sector, who take part in thinking and activity to promote equal opportunity and social mobility. Bringing together wide knowledge, perspective and experience, they consider innovative, practical solutions to complex social challenges with the potential for far-reaching impact.

The forum’s activity focuses on strategic thinking and development of responses to major issues in Israeli society, particularly in the areas of education, employment, community resilience, and capacity building in local authorities. Forum members engage in mutual learning, and apply their professional expertise and managerial experience to advance social initiatives.

Measurable impact with long-term significance
The forum’s collective efforts aim to promote equal opportunity and social mobility, particularly in Israel’s geographic and social periphery. This has a natural alignment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to corporate and environmental responsibility standards (ESG), thus helping to create a measurable, and long-term impact in both the social and business arenas.
