The newspaper “Makor Rishon”, a religious Zionist publication, has selected 10 Israeli candidates for the “Alternative Israeli Award.” One of these is Dr Reuven Gal, chosen for his Social Contribution.
“We chose people. Not slogans. Because we believe that for a better country, we need good people, those you can follow and learn from”.
Regarding Reuven Gal: “In his current position as head of the ‘Ultra-Orthodox Integration Project’, in the Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy at the Technion, Gal focuses on the possibilities of Ultra-Orthodox integration into the employment market, and in proactive delivery of information on this topic to policy makers. Previously the founder and first director of the National Civic Service in the Prime Minister’s Office, Gal managed to double the number of military exempt Haredim and Arabs participating in the National Civic Service.
