Join the ICC@JCC for a Meet & Learn exploring the journeys of those who've chosen to leave Israel's ultra Orthodox community in search of education, opportunity and personal freedom. Learn about On the Derech, an organization empowering individuals to forge their own paths while helping shape a more inclusive and democratic Israel.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Meet Mindi Ehrlich, who left Israel's ultra-orthodox world to pursue education and opportunity. As "yotzim", those who choose to leave they'll share their personal journeys and the work of On the Derech, which empowers ultra-orthodox individuals to chart their own path while strengthening Israel's democratic future. 

Through storytelling and Q&A, discover why this growing movement matters. With Haredi populations projected to reach 30% of Israel's population within a generation, this is a timely conversation about what it means to choose courage over conformity, one decision at a time.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

A special evening program featuring Mindi Ehrlich, a former Haredi woman whose life was transformed through the support of Hillel's On the Derech.

Today, Mindi is an emerging voice in film and storytelling, having collaborated on projects connected to Netflix and the broader Israeli film world. Her journey, from leaving the ultra-Orthodox community to building a creative career and finding her own voice, is both deeply personal and universally compelling.
