The Israel-Palestine Working Group’s programming presents a variety of offerings that over time will cover the breadth and depth of what has happened, what is happening, and how we can continue to learn and be in community together. We acknowledge that no program will suit everyone or cover every perspective and value being part of a community that prides itself on respectful and open-hearted dialogue.
