This report is the first part – and a central component – in the project “Benevolent Community – for Social Mobility, Community Resilience, and Quality of Life – in the 21st Century”.
The project is a joint venture of the (Israel) Joint-Ashalim, the Community Resources Division in the Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs, and the Rashi Foundation. The report focuses on identifying the primary components of a benevolent community, offers various definitions to its principal concepts, and provides the basis to the conceptualizations and principles underlying this important project.
