Who are we?
The Haredi Information Center was founded in 2012 to provide a professional and comprehensive response to the growing need for familiarity with the Haredi society.
Over the years, the influence of the ultra-Orthodox sector on Israeli society has been increasing. However, despite the curiosity about this sector and the need to understand it properly, the options for doing so – especially for the English-speaking public – are limited.
The Haredi Information Center provides a variety of ways to gain a meaningful understanding of Haredi society. We conduct study tours in Haredi communities, provide excellent speakers on various topics pertaining to Haredi life, and work with Israeli and international media to provide Haredi interviewees on key issues.
On this site we have compiled a wide range of possibilities for an in-depth acquaintance with the ultra-Orthodox society.
Learning Tours
If your acquaintance with the Haredi society is only through the screen – then you don’t really know it.
True acquaintance is made when you are exposed to the sights, the people and the sounds, when you meet a Haredi family in their living room and see their lifestyle up close.
Our tours in the Haredi communities are tailored to the interests and requirements of the tour participants.
As you walk the streets, visit the sites and meet interesting people you will enter a fascinating world that combines old and new, tradition and innovation. You will be introduced to the Haredi mindset and will be able to understand the unique way of life through ultra-Orthodox eyes.
To complete the experience, we end the tour around a table set with the best Jewish delicacies while having an open discussion about the things we saw and felt during the tour.
Our tours are accompanied by Haredi guides fluent in Hebrew and English.
Among the organizations that took part in our tours: The European Union diplomatic mission in Israel, The editorial staff of News 12 and Keshet media, Haaretz newspaper, Mako website, Galei Tzahal, social activist groups, Business groups, Teacher study groups, and other groups from all strata of Israeli society as well as groups from abroad.
Contact us and we will build a perfect tour based on your needs and interests.
Lectures
The Haredi way of life encapsulates thousands of years of wisdom that is still relevant to our lives today. At the same time, the technological and social developments of contemporary society create new challenges for the conservative Haredi way of life, requiring unique solutions.
In addition, the relations between the Haredi society and the general public in Israel are a perennial issue that hovers over Israeli public life. Issues such as employment, army service, and the attitude of Haredi society towards the state of Israel often arouse emotions and require explanation.
To introduce you to these topics and help you gain a deeper understanding of contemporary issues facing Haredi society we arranged a diverse list of ultra-Orthodox speakers that will give you a unique intellectual experience.
The lectures are geared to all audiences and ages.
Contact us and we will tailor a fascinating lecture for you.
Database of haredi speakers and experts – Idealist
The media has a powerful influence on public opinion and agenda, yet for a variety of reasons the voice of the ultra-Orthodox is rarely heard in the media.
As a result, the public is left with prejudices and is unaware of the positive impact of the haredi community on society as a whole. The public also rarely hears from ultra-Orthodox professionals about issues related to health, economics, technology, science, education, foreign policy, and more.
In order to help media professionals reach haredi interviewees, we established the idealist.org.il website – an online database for locating haredi experts and speakers on a variety of topics.
In addition, we prepare Haredi speakers for professional media appearances by conducting workshops within various media organizations.
For assistance in locating Haredi interviewees on any subject, you are welcome to contact us directly.
