The Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) recognizes the vital importance of achieving the proper balance between universal and particular values, which is the foundation of any modern democracy.
Since its inception over sixty years ago, the State of Israel has struggled to establish a solid foundation of combined Jewish and democratic values. The Israel Democracy Institute invests a great deal of effort in researching and engaging in dialogue on the form and function of a society committed to a unique Jewish heritage, as well as universal democratic principles.
