Why are you an ally?

AHAVA is a proud ally and so every June, we like to openly express our support to the LGBTQ+ community. The overall attitude at our offices is "of course, no question if we do or don't". But what happens when you catch a few AHAVA individuals and ask, "Why are you an ally?"?


Idit Gandelman
VP Global Education & Creative Product Marketing

"I am a supporter because I believe in individual freedom of every person to be who they want and to love whom they want. I will only choose to live in a country that believes that all its citizens deserve equal rights, a country that condemns discrimination of any kind."


Michal Rom
Chief Commercial Officer

"Because we are all people – why should we not support them? Everyone has the right to define themselves, their preferences, and who they choose to be."


Amit Carmeli
Social Media Manager

"When I was little, my parents taught me about love. They explained that love comes in all forms; it crosses ages and times and connects all types of people. This is the belief I grew up with, and this is what I believe in. The phrase love is love may sound like a cliché, but to me, it describes exactly the matter. Love is a universal thing, crossing borders. Everyone has the right to love who they choose to love, no matter what."


Emily Williams
Writer

"Well, I belong to LGBTQ+ myself (the B-group people who are said to "have it easy, not know what they want, be greedy…"). And I only explored my preferences enough to know that because I was raised by a mother who convinced me that an open mind, an open heart, and an endless curiosity are essential to any human. Live and let live, think critically, love freedom. Other peoples' natures and choices that have no impact on my life whatsoever don't need to bother me."
