In August 2015, in the wake of the murder of Shira Banki at the Jerusalem gay pride parade and the murder of the members of the Dawabshe family, which took place in August, Shaharit held an evening of study and discussion together with a group of Haredi residents of Jerusalem that addressed the possibility of repairing the rifts in Israeli society and working together to create a society that strives for the common good.
