ברוכים הבאים לקוקניקים הצעירים

Here at הקוקניקים הצעירים, we commit ourselves to investing in the Aliya of Modern-Orthodox Jews from the U.S., Canada and Europe. We see this not only as an ideological aspiration, but as a humanitarian gesture, facilitating what for many can seem an insurmountable challenge. Drawing on the vast human resources of our communities, we promise to provide aid in securing employment for young professionals, integrating young individuals and families into the fabric of Israel's Modern-Orthodox communities, and assisting Olim in their process of acculturation into Israeli society.

​

In addition to the aid we shall provide Olim, we see their participation in local community life, as well as in greater Israeli society, as a powerful force for good. We believe that the moderate values of modern Torah Judaism can serve a social cause, challenging the status-quo and broadening our communities' engagement in wider civil society.

​

We call on Modern-Orthodox leaders in Galus to invest in an institutional framework that would facilitate such a community-backed exodus. We see Aliya as a collective affair, and we cannot leave it all to individual decision-making.
