The HLRS stands out as a one-of-a-kind program in Israel and potentially the world, intersecting academic engagement with missions of social change during a challenging time for religious pluralism. Our core belief is that religious communities, despite their theological differences, can be powerful engines for social and civic change.
To further its important agenda, HLRS conducts interdisciplinary research to understand how religious pluralism can contribute to social cohesion in diverse societies. This includes studying the role of religious communities in promoting social solidarity, environmental concerns, education, and civic justice. The research aims to identify effective frameworks for driving social and civic change through religious collaboration.
HLRS has a variety of funding opportunities including, a legal forum, an annual symposium and a graduate student cohort.
