Kumu
“Rise Up!”! It’s on us.

“Now is our generation’s time: Israelis of ingenuity, courage, and composure. We will not let up until we repair. We will not rest until we rebuild. We are the generation that will rise from the ruins and the inferno and fulfill the new Zionist vision.”

Yonatan Shamriz, founder of the Kumu movement, October 7, 2024, the National Memorial Ceremony

Our Goals

A State Commission of Inquiry

days — and a state commission of inquiry has yet to be established

There is only one way to investigate the gravest failure in the history of the State of Israel — a state commission of inquiry.
Kumu works to restore trust between citizens and the state. Establishing a state commission of inquiry, with full accountability at every level that failed on October 7, is the first step toward restoring that trust.

Cultivating Leadership

100

100 new leaders with public influence

t’s on us. There is no one else. Kumu is changing the DNA of Israeli leadership by training and developing grassroots leaders who will form Israel’s next generation of leadership.

Shaping Remembrance

7.10

We will live with the pain, remember the heroism, and build hope.

The Kumu movement works to properly commemorate the events of October 7 and the Swords of Iron War through national and international events, and by creating encounters with those affected by October 7.
Taking responsibility for remembrance — building a future together.

Vision and Values

The State of Israel is a Jewish and democratic state, united and secure, where citizens trust state institutions and feel part of them. Its leaders are worthy and trustworthy, act responsibly, and serve out of a deep sense of public mission. Israeli society is strong and cohesive, engaged and giving, grounded in the values of trust, partnership, and mutual responsibility.

Only leadership that bears responsibility is worthy of leading. Only a society founded on partnership and mutual commitment can rise again.

We rose from the rupture and the ruins to create a model society — a society worthy of raising our children in. Out of the pain and the loss of trust, we are taking responsibility and building a future of hope through gatherings, events, civic initiatives, and public campaigns.
