Sullam’s approach to addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict involves fostering a community of Jewish communal professionals who are prepared to engage with the intricate narratives, individuals, and locations central to this complex issue.
The program will include multiple opportunities for participants to learn about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, always through multiple perspectives from a position of curiosity and empathy.
There will also be opportunities to hear from a variety of people with direct experience with the conflict, including Palestinians. The program will open with a specially-designed introductory course exploring Israeli history and contemporary issues. For those who want to dive more deeply into issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there will be elective programming opportunities to continue learning through site visits and meetings facilitated by local experts in the field. Participants who choose to participate in these elective program options can expect to hear from a broad range of perspectives from both Palestinians and Israelis about the current state of the conflict, as well as insights and opinions about various potential future scenarios.
