What is Civil Rest?
Civil Rest is a place for discussing ideas in a kind and thought-provoking way. There is no limit to the topics appearing on Civil Rest. Politics, religion, culture, business and technology – is emphasized. The right to exist and the survival of the State of Israel is of great importance to us. Business, science, technology, medicine, management, and economics in their practical and ethical dimensions are also emphasized, as is the state of American culture.

What we stand for?
The pursuit of Truth, Justice and the American Way.  We seek to shine a light on good things and encourage others to that endeavor.

How did Civil Rest begin? 
Civil Rest was founded with the purpose of promoting kindness and respect in conversations, despite differing opinions and ideologies. The current state of affairs in America is marked by a shortage of truth in media, where narrative paramount.   Values and opinions that are not inline with the narrative are met with increasing hatred and violence. Our goal is to provide a platform for open and honest discussions that challenge disagreements in a civil and respectful manner.  We want to foster respect and humility among Americans and humanity as a whole.

How is Civil Rest funded?
We are self-funded by the businesses we run.  We are a for-profit venture and we ar e funded primarily through reader donations and merch sales.

Epilogue
Lastly, we’d like to challenge our readers/audience to not pin their hopes, and existence to a politician, or celebrity. People will always fail you, no matter how good or righteous. Nor should you blindly give your allegiance to a political party. Instead, look to God, learn true values, strive to be better, practice kindness, forgiveness and you will learn what makes us better as people and a society.
