The Havurah Shalom Israel/Palestine Committee was formed to promote discussions of Israel/Palestine that further our understanding of the history of the land and its peoples, the different cultures of the peoples currently residing there and pertinent issues confronting Israel/Palestine today. We are guided by the values of justice, the dignity and equal worth of all human life, and respect for the ecological capacity of the land.

Our overriding goal is to have Havurah members engage with the complicated issues of Israel and Palestine and enable open, respectful, and meaningful discussions. To this end, the Committee conducts a variety of events.

Please see the link below to access the portal for our committee. There you will find information about upcoming events and past events. As appropriate, we will also link to resources that we consider to be helpful.

Please note that on our “past events” pages, you will find resources pertinent to those events so that you can benefit even if you were unable to attend.
