Does supporting peace in Israel/Palestine feel a little “too complicated?” Familiarity with the politics and history of the region and its people can help us work for justice in the Middle East in an informed and fulfilling way.

Jewish Voice for Peace Boston’s education working group spent months developing a curriculum intended to prepare people of all ages for Israel/Palestine activism, and debuted the course Fall 2013. The course has been so popular that we are offering a FOURTH edition, new and improved!

JVP leaders Noor Balbaky and Cael Barry will facilitate six interactive, multimedia workshops designed to invite discussion and questioning. Sessions might include pre-readings of under 20 pages.

We require that each participant commit to attending all workshops. Missing one workshop is okay, but not the first.

Please register here. We are limited to 15 spots, so register soon!

Want to organize, lead, or develop curriculum for courses like these?  The JVP Education Working Group aims to build power through education, asking strategic questions like “what do we need to know, feel, and believe in order to become activists for justice in Palestine and Israel?” Get involved with the Education Working Group
