Professor Dan Shechtman Nobel Laureate“The enemies around us will never defeat us. If we shall be defeated it will be by ourselves-in strife, hate among different groups, inability to listen and discuss in a civilized manner and misunderstanding of the meaning and purpose of our life here. I hope Be a Mensch can build a bridge over these stormy waters”

“National coherence is essential for Israel’s stability, prosperity, and perhaps even for its survival. Be A Mensch helps assure that Israeli society remains not only tolerant but resilient as we face future challenges.” Professor Michael Oren Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States
I applaud and endorse the BeAMensch Foundation for establishing an organization to widely communicate the values of Menschdom to the world. Both Jews and Non-Jews turn out to very much appreciate the idea of Menschness once it is explained to them. Even Jews that do not make other observances find that Being A Mensch stands out as making good sense to them. As a core idea of Judaism that resonates in any secular age the idea of Being A Mensch deserves special emphasis in the world’s spiritual education.
