It's essential for Jewish leaders.
Rabbi Sharon Brous
Senior/Founding Rabbi, IKAR
This is an intense trip that quickly immerses you in narratives of Palestinians that are mostly hidden to Jews living in Israel. You will have access to unvarnished insights that will deepen your understanding of the Palestinian narrative and broaden your understanding of the conflict. You will have the chance to ask hard questions and to struggle deeply with colleagues about the challenges you witness. All of this in a deeply supportive environment.
Rabbi Elliott Tepperman
Rabbi, Bnai Keshet, New Jersey
