The Feather Project is a project of the Jacob Soetendorp Institute for Human Values founded by Rabbi Awraham Soetendorp to honour the name of his father who worked tirelessly to rebuild Jewish life in the Netherlands after the Shoa, as well as his foster parents that risked their lives in taking care of young Awraham as a baby, hiding him from Nazi persecution in 1943. The Institute is guided by the universal principle of tikkun olam, the mandate to repair a world that is broken, and is active on many levels, including the dialogue and collaboration between the religions, promoting environmental awareness, and building a culture of peace and reconciliation.
