I didn't learn any substantial new facts or yet-unknown perspectives about the conflict. But I was pressed to confront the urgency of... and the untenability of my own blind spots.

I feel much more informed, have (some) first hand understanding and a better grasp on where to go to learn more. This is now an open and discussable topic.

Essential and transformative.
Rabbi Angela Buchdahl
Senior Rabbi, Central Synagogue
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
It is a duty to listen to all the stories if you wish to have a properly functioning moral compass.
