We have a strong commitment to public interest service, believing our attorneys should use their talent and motivation to be better citizens. We thus encourage our partners and associates to participate in community service projects, realizing it is in the public interest as well as in the professional interest of the firm. 

Following are some of the various community service projects in which our legal staff is involved:

The Yitzhak Rabin Center for Israel Studies is dedicated to commemorating Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and examining the lessons for Israeli society to be learned from his assassination. The center fosters a culture of democratic politics based on moral and social norms that promote tolerance and equality and promotes a message of peace to help create a climate conducive to a new national consensus in Israel.

Avi D. Pelossof is the chairman of the Friends of the Yitzhak Rabin Center for Israel Studies, a not-for-profit organization, whose goal was to establish the center and who is currently concentrating on raising funds in Israel and abroad for the expansion of the center's activities.

TALI is an education fund sponsored, among others, by the Ministry of Education of Israel. The main objective of the fund is to provide a tolerant approach to Jewish instruction as an alternative to both secular and Orthodox curricula. The fund is devoted to a deeper, more extensive and meaningful Jewish education and implements an Enriched Jewish Studies Program offered in Israel's non-Orthodox public schools.

Mr. Itay Hacohen is actively involved in TALI's activities and is a member of a committee that selects on a yearly basis an "outstanding TALI school principal" to whom the Doborah and Shraga Genger Prize is awarded for successfully translating TALI theory into practice.

"Halev Bamishpat" is a project supported by the Movement for Fighting Poverty in Israel. The main objective of the project is to coordinate the provision of legal services to the indigent and disadvantaged, who otherwise would not have access to legal representation. Through this project attorneys and law students may assist such individuals throughout the country by rendering legal services on a voluntary basis in various practice areas such as criminal, constitutional, administrative, labor, housing and consumer law.

A number of attorneys and legal trainees in our firm are actively involved in the project.
