While the Jewish calendar conducts the rhythm of the Israeli year, other calendars exist side by side. Activist organizations have sprung up in Jerusalem to support the city’s unique diversity. The Yerushalmit Movement sees Jerusalem as a “community of communities,” a city in which each community maintains its identity while living side by side with other communities, in peace. Ruach Chadasha, or New Spirit, works with Jerusalem’s young creative human capital while “Teacher’s Lounge” focuses on bringing together the influencers of Jerusalem’s diverse young people – teachers. Politics may be religious and religion political, but Jerusalem is home to us all.
