What is
the Day of Choice?
Once a year, we will mark the Day of Choice for those who have left Haredi society around the world, in order to raise awareness about freedom of choice and the struggle of Yotzim and Yotzot for equal rights and integration into society, to give expression to their cultural world and to work for legislative and societal change.
In previous years that special day was celebrated on October 27th, but ever since the unfortunate events that took place in Israel last October – the date has been removed for this year to June 27th.
About Us
Out for Change was founded in 2013 by a group of former Haredim who were driven by their personal experiences to help others who have chosen a similar path and by the belief in the incredible potential that former Haredim have to contribute to Israeli society. Using a holistic approach, we offer assistance to anyone who asks for help, at any stage of the process and endeavor to meet any and all needs, whether in-house or through referrals to partner organizations and public services.
