Gesher develops military officers of diverse backgrounds with a shared Jewish and Israeli identity to provide effective future leadership so that both within (mandatory) military service and when these leaders transition into civilian life as leaders in a wide variety of industries and sectors, they are leading with a deepened commitment to the values that are core to Israel’s Jewish character.
