The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC)

The Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) was founded in 1987 with the goals of advancing pluralism in Israeli society and of protecting and defending the human rights of all Israeli citizens, especially those rights having to do with freedoms of conscience, faith, and religion. In its 20 year history IRAC has built up a network of legal-aid centers, engaged in public policy advocacy to advance civic equality, and presented many precedent setting petitions to the Supreme Court. These activities have established IRAC as a leading organization working to strengthen the democratic character of Israeli society.
