The Haredi community wants this opportunity and is waiting for it…. We can find solutions that work for everyone.
—Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman
Start-Up Nation Central has recognized the potential in this population and we are already deeply invested in enabling Haredi seminaries to address the needs of the industry.
—Eugene Kandel
Think of what the Russian Aliyah did for Israel’s economy – we are talking about an opportunity of the same size and significance. Our goal is to prove that potential to the government and industry.
