Stories of Hope: Brit Ha’Leviot

Almog was 20 when he embraced his gender identity, nearly 13 years ago. Public consciousness of transgender issues — and support for individuals and families — was far from present. For Merav Livni Keish — Almog’s mother — silence was no option. She began talking to people, uncovering others’ experiences. She dug deep into the medical world, accumulating facts and realities. Eventually, she founded Brit Ha’Leviot, a Good People Fund grantee promoting the rights and wellbeing of transgender individuals and their families … and educating Israeli society about gender diversity. — “Stories of Hope” is a special series of Good People Talk!, where audio storytelling brings the impact of our Good People Fund grantees alive. — Read The Good People Fund 2025 Journal of Good for more stories of inspiration, hope and impact: www.goodpeoplefund.org/news-and-publications/annual-reports/ — Thank you to our narrator: Stephanie Garry
