Yaron Kanner is an Israeli social entrepreneur and lawyer, director of the Hinam Center for Social Tolerance.

Biography

Yaron Kanner was born in Tel Aviv in 1968. He studied at the Netiv Meir High School in Jerusalem and later at Yeshivat Ateret Cohanim (today known as Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim). He served in the "Shimshon" undercover unit in the IDF during the First Intifada.[1][2] In the 1990s, he served as a correspondent for Israel Radio's Channel 2 network and, among others, was the first reporter to broadcast live on Israel Radio that shots were fired at then-prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Later he broadcast a documentary program on television, mainly during "The Diary" on the IBA’s First Channel. He was also a reporter for Yedioth Ahronoth, writing for the "7 Days" supplement.[3]

After working as a journalist, he began to study social law. As a lawyer, he served as the director of the Legal Department of the Tebeka Association and led legal battles against the private and institutional discrimination of members of the Ethiopian community. Among others, he was one of the leaders of the legal struggle in the affair of the "Nezer Etzion" school in Petach Tikvah, whose students (except one) were members of the Ethiopian community.[4][5]

In 2012-2013 he served as CEO of the Kol BaRama radio station, as director-general of Kol Barama, he led a respectful discourse towards all sectors, even if their views were contrary to the nature of the stationand.[1][6] Then as director of Panim – the Association of Israeli Jewish Organizations.[7][8][9] In addition, Kanner initiated his position as director general of Panim conferences dealing with the connection between groups and tribes in Israeli society, while trying to promote dialogue between the various groups.[2] In 2016 founded the Hinam Center for Social Tolerance.

As a Journalist

The investigative reports that Kanner published in Yedioth Ahronoth were characterized by an active approach, in which the journalist is not satisfied with presenting the evidence alone to prove the subject of his investigation, but is actively involved in the investigation itself. This way Kanner tried to produce articles that benefitted from high credibility.

About two months before the assassination of then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Kanner entered the Eyal organization, where Yigal Amir was a member. During his recruitment to the organization, Avishai Raviv visited his home, and after that Kanner held meetings with Yigal Amir and Hagai Amir in Hebron and was due to join the organization as a weapons instructor. The purpose of the debriefing was to examine the intentions of the organization and its members, in light of their public threats against Yitzhak Rabin. The investigative report, which was planned to continue for several months, was interrupted by Rabin's assassination. Kanner immediately published a series of articles about his meetings with Yigal Amir and the other members of the organization.[10]

Kanner served, at the time, as a reporter for the Israel Radio network. On November 4, 1995, he was sent by the radio network to cover the "Yes to Peace, No to Violence" rally held at Malkhei Yisrael Square (today Rabin Square in Tel Aviv). As stated, Kanner was the first reporter to report that shots were fired at Yitzhak Rabin as he descended the back stairs of the stage toward his car.[11][12]

In 1996, Kanner conducted an investigation into forced psychiatric hospitalization, in which he managed to bring about his own hospitalization at the Abarbanel Psychiatric Hospital for four days, following fictitious letters of complaint he sent to the Tel Aviv District Psychiatrist. In this, Kanner proved that the district psychiatrist was not conducting the necessary tests before ordering forced hospitalization. Following a series of articles published on the subject, an investigation committee was set up by the Ministry of Health, and some of the legal requirements relating to forced hospitalization were changed.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

His journalistic approach aroused controversy over the extent of the journalist's proper involvement in the subject of his investigation, as well as ethical questions related to the legitimacy of impersonation and misrepresentation of the authorities in order to expose information of public importance.

In the World of Tolerance

Kanner advocates promoting a tolerant society through a long and meaningful acquaintance with the other.  The Hinam Center that he founded applies this approach through in-depth journeys into the Israeli society where participants live "the lives of others" and spend extended periods of time  in various communities in Israeli society (ultra-Orthodox, Arabs, settlers, Ethiopians, etc.).[19][20][21][22][23][24]

In 2016, President Reuven Rivlin met members of one of the Hinam Center’s groups after they completeda four-month journey between communities in Israel. The President noted that this is the way to truly recognize Israeli society in all its forms.[25][26]
