As part of the organization&#8217;s activities, they go out every Saturday night to the nearest intersection by their home, the Nahalal junction, and demonstrate\u2014for unity.<\/p>\n<p>The organization was founded by Hagai Luber, whose son Yonatan was killed in Gaza. In his memory, he decided to establish an organization with the goal of encouraging unity in the public sphere. &#8220;The public space is very neglected. Billboard messages divide us, you see it every time you drive on Highway 6, and his statement was: I want to change the public space. That\u2019s why he specifically chose demonstrations,&#8221; Renana explained in an interview with RegaNEWS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Hundred People in a Unity Demonstration<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite a decline in the number of participants at the intersection, Renana remains optimistic about the broader trend. She draws encouraging and interesting conclusions each week from going out to the junction\u2014and sometimes it shows in the turnout.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the eve of Tisha B\u2019Av last year, we ran a project called \u2018100 in 100\u2019\u2014100 people at 100 intersections. We recruited coordinators and teams, and it turned into an amazing event,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the response was still strong: &#8220;Last Thursday we tried again to organize a bigger demonstration, to reawaken the intersections that had gone \u2018dormant,\u2019 and at our location, there were over 100 people, even though there are usually about ten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added that similar turnouts happened this week at about 25 other junctions around the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;The Intersection Is a Carnival. The Most Joyful Place in the World&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe lessons from weekly unity demonstrations at the junction are heartening. &#8220;I really feel that over the past year and a half, despite what people say about how divided and polarized the public is, the word &#8216;unity&#8217; has become much more mainstream. Much more talked about and accepted. People say it started after October 7 and then everyone forgot\u2014but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel it at the intersection. In the beginning, we would get a lot of negative reactions. People would ask, &#8216;What are you doing for unity besides standing here and shouting?&#8217; We used to be afraid of sour faces. Today we get honks and kisses. The intersection is a carnival. It\u2019s the most joyful place in the world. It recharges you. Everyone talks about division, and there, you just don\u2019t feel it. The amount of positive feedback is insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Renana notes that Nahalal junction offers special opportunities. It\u2019s located near Migdal HaEmek, several kibbutzim, and the town of Zarzir. She says they encountered many different sectors and shades of Israeli society. &#8220;At first we felt a lot of criticism, but that has changed. Even though fewer people come, the moment we get out of the car we receive a lot of encouragement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27465\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-27465\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.30.52_ef37b7f2.jpg.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;The Intersection Is a Carnival&#8221; | Photo: Private<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The Impact Is Spreading<\/strong><br \/>\nRenana shares that the connections formed at the intersection have led to meaningful collaborations between very different groups. &#8220;A really sweet group has formed\u2014a bunch of people passionate about the cause. Last year, during Shavuot, we held a joint study session between Kibbutz Yifat and Migdal HaEmek. It was an incredible session, about 50 to 60 people came, half from Yifat and half from Migdal HaEmek,&#8221; and it all happened because of relationships formed at the junction. &#8220;Amazing connections are being made.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She says the effects are evident even among those who don&#8217;t physically attend: &#8220;There\u2019s a WhatsApp group for the junction with over 100 people\u2014most of them quiet\u2014but the fact they\u2019re in it shows they\u2019re engaged with the idea. They respond and like posts. As coordinators we can get frustrated with people who don\u2019t show up, but we have a large audience committed to the cause. The ripple effects are huge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what drives her to stay so involved, she answered: &#8220;It really gives me life. It\u2019s something the street is thirsty for. And in general, I really believe in the idea of \u2018instead of complaining, do something.\u2019 I believe the solution will come only through dialogue and connection. The simplest way to deliver that message is just to go out and do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27466\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-27466\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4-\u05e9\u05dc-WhatsApp_-2025-08-01-\u05d1\u05e9\u05e2\u05d4-12.32.04_35da2cdd.jpg.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From the junction. the signs read: &#8220;Demonstrating Love&#8221;, &#8220;Unity is our Strength&#8221;, &#8220;Israel Wins Together&#8221; | Photo: Private<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Unity Around What?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I feel our message isn\u2019t about what we\u2019re uniting around, but about how.
