BRIT HAZON is a grassroots movement committed to inspiring a new vision for our current chapter of Jewish history. Our members come from diverse personal, political, and ideological backgrounds but share a commitment to Jewish liberation as a means of pursuing justice for all peoples and a better world in accordance with the values of our sacred tradition.

We recognize that although Zionism as a nationalist ideology and political movement failed to normalize the Jewish experience or defeat anti-Semitism, it did succeed at accomplishing many of the deeper collective yearnings of the Jewish people. But Zionism was also catastrophic for another population, whose lives and society were disrupted by its implementation. 

Jewish liberation should not come at the expense of other oppressed peoples but must actively ally itself with struggles for justice. Following our return home from exile and the reestablishment of Jewish independence after nearly 2,000 years, the State of Israel is a work in progress with many policies, structures, and even foundational ideas in dire need of repair. Recognizing that narrow Jewish nationalism can only bring the Jewish people so far, we take it upon ourselves to formulate a uniquely Hebrew universalist vision that can protect Zionism's positive achievements while addressing and rectifying its flaws.

As we build a vibrant and inclusive movement of young adults committed to formulating new ideas and ideological vehicles for advancing the story of our people, BRIT HAZON aims to empower our generation’s most dedicated young leaders with the tools and means to become active participants in the Jewish story.
