Digital Resilience for the Jewish Diaspora

We're in a period of rapid technological change that challenges our assumptions about how societies operate. Yet Jewish institutions are often left on their own to make decisions about technology use — affecting their visibility, security, and without knowing it, their ethics.

Technology is core to Jewish life.
But it wasn’t built with us in mind.

Jewish communities around the world rely on technology for everything: education, connection, celebration, fundraising, and safety. Yet many institutions lack the resources, frameworks, and guidance to make smart, safe decisions about technology. Meanwhile, the digital threats we face are intensifying—from data leaks, doxxing, social media’s effect on mental health, and targeted attacks, especially in moments of crisis like October 7 and its aftermath.

K’lal exists to ensure the Jewish people aren’t just reacting to digital threats, but proactively shaping a future where technology strengthens, rather than threatens, communal life.

Our team brings decades of experience in digital security, human rights, and communal resilience—and we believe no one understands Jewish needs better than those of us rooted in the community.

Our Approach

Capacity Building

  • Insights into community-wide trends and vulnerabilities

  • Jewish perspectives on AI, privacy, platform power, and digital ethics

  • Publicly available tools, frameworks, and shared best practices

Why “K’lal”?

K’lal Yisrael (כלל ישראל) refers to unity and mutual responsibility among the Jewish people. It emphasizes the shared heritage, history, and destiny of Jews around the world, irrespective of their cultural, ethnic, or religious differences. These values guide our approach to cybersecurity. Without a holistic picture of the threats we face, it is harder to understand how to protect ourselves and our communities, now and in the future.
