About B’Tzedek

Founded 2006, B’Tzedek (Hebrew for “Through Justice”) is an Israeli non-profit organization.

Our mission: To help people committed to progressive social change develop their leadership capacity, through immersion and other programs in Israel and elsewhere, so they can effectively tackle complex local and global social problems, grounded in their values and vision, with clarity, empathy, ambition, resilience, and power.

Through our programs, we contribute to select, social issues by both initiating change, and cultivating leaders who will continue to lead in these critical areas. We strive not only to teach leadership, but to enact it.

B’Tzedek uses a combination of real-world engagement with social problems, experiential learning, travel, formal learning, workshops and site visits. Based partly on Harvard University’s “Adaptive Leadership” model, we specialize in service learning programs in Israel, India and Jordan. We enable individuals to develop their leadership capacity, so they can effectively tackle complex, local and global social problems with clarity, vision, empathy, ambition, resilience and power. The impact we seek, through the work of our participants and graduates, is to generate systemic change, as well as a meaningful difference in the actual lives of people from weak and vulnerable backgrounds.
