Does supporting peace in Palestine/Israel 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 Palestine/Israel activism, and debuted the course Fall 2013. The course has been so popular that we are offering a FOURTH edition, new and improved!

– MONDAY April 20, 6-9 PM – Israel’s Founding
– MONDAY April 27, 6-9 PM – The Ongoing Nakba
– NO CLASS ON MONDAY, MAY 4

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.
