Kol Israel Haverim
Kol Israel Haverim, known in France as Alliance Israélite Universelle, was founded in Paris in 1860 out of a will to protect all Jews wherever they may be, contribute to their general and Jewish cultural development and promote the training of the young generation in handicrafts and agriculture.
The first to be appointed as the Director of Alliance Israélite Universelle was Adolphe Cremieux, a Jewish lawyer who, along with his partners in the organization, founded the first schools that reflected the spirit of Alliance. The first one was founded in the city of Tetouan, Morocco in 1862, followed by hundreds of schools in fifteen other countries.
