Shaharit – Creating Common Cause is an Israeli nonprofit organization, which was founded as a " think- and do- tank" in 2009 to forge a new social partnership between all segments of Israeli society and create a new common denominator by transcending the hackneyed dichotomies between Right and Left, Jewish and Arabs, religious and secular, Mizrahim and Ashkenazim, etc. Shaharit's overarching goal is to "forge common ground between all the groups in Israeli society thereby creating a sustainable future that allows everyone to thrive." The organization is active on several fronts in parallel—local civic groups, an intellectual think tank, and building working groups within and between the various communities that make up Israeli society.
In November 2014, Shaharit held a large conference entitled "Creating a New Social Partnership.”
The organization's director is Dr. Eilon Schwartz and the deputy director is Yael Golan.
Shaharit's advisory committee includes Prof. Haviva Pedaya, Prof. Manny Mautner, Jawad Boulous, and Prof. Nissim Mizrachi. Shaharit's Institute Fellows include Dr. Ofer Sitbon, Dr. Lia Ettinger, Dr. Chana Pinchasi, Esti Rieder-Indursky, and Nazier Magally.
