How does collective hope translate into direct action during a politically turbulent time? As Israel prepares for an intense election season, a new generation of leaders is stepping up. In this special Shalom Hartman Institute panel, alumni from the Hazon leadership program share firsthand stories from the front lines of local politics, grassroots organizing, and civic activism.

Together, they tackle the toughest questions facing Israeli democracy today: How do we shift political conversations back toward professionalism and party platforms? How do we safeguard election integrity? And what role must the global Jewish diaspora play in this critical moment? Watch to hear how these inspiring young leaders are answering the call to action and navigating disagreement with a commitment to a resilient society.
