How have the events of October 7th impacted Israel?
What are Israelis and Palestinians thinking about their future?
What are the hopes for a peaceful society of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and others sharing the land?
What do Israelis think about the possibilities of a two state solution?
What has become of the protest movement that dominated Israel from January 2023 until October 7?
This trip will explore these questions and many more. We will also celebrate Shabbat with our friends at Kehillat Birkat Shalom on Kibbutz Gezer and tour the newly opened Israel National Library. Finally, we will simply walk the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, visiting both Arab and Israeli neighborhoods. That is always an adventure.
This is not a “first timers” trip but certainly all are welcome.
