Fostering Hope
We’re not looking for easy answers – but for people in this region who refuse to give up. People who, despite pain, trauma, and deep polarization, choose to work toward peace and shared life. Our seminars connect you with exactly such people: those who build bridges, listen deeply, mourn with others, offer help – and initiate processes of healing. We meet them without illusions – but with a heart open to hope.
Just one example - your ideas count!
What would be the format of a typical seminar?
Our programs usually run for 7–8 days (6–7 nights).
A single location – for example, Jerusalem – serves as a home base for encounters across Israel and the Palestinian territories.
This format allows space for depth, reflection, and honest conversations – while also offering a steady place of rest: a retreat for grounding, orientation, and renewal along the way.
Who could you meet?
-
Roots: Religious Jewish settlers and Palestinian activists in dialogue about a shared future.
-
Lifegate: Vocational rehabilitation and empowerment for people with disabilities in the Arab community.
-
Standing Together: A Jewish-Arab movement advocating for equality, social justice, and shared society.

The Other Voice: Cross-border dialogue between residents of Israel and Gaza – despite barriers and fear.
