Building the Dream

In a society where 1 in 3 children lives in poverty, where immigrant families struggle to integrate, and family breakdown is increasingly common, Tzedek is building a brighter future for Israel’s children.

Tzedek was founded in 1982 by Rabbi Paul Roitman, a brave French Resistance fighter during WWII, who went on to rebuild the Jewish community of Paris during the 1950s. Moving to Israel, he recognized the plight of many disadvantaged children and decided to establish an organization to give them better opportunities and to encourage good citizenship.
