Interfaith Peace-Builders is built upon a belief in the power of eye-witness experience and personal transformation. Delegates will have the opportunity to visit Palestinian communities, meet a variety of Palestinian and Israeli grassroots organizers and human rights group, and connect with other North Americans interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the situation.

LOGISTICS: The cost of the delegation will be $2400. This includes 13 days of the delegation, hotel and home stay accommodations, breakfasts and dinners, local transportation, guides, speaker/event fees, basic tips and gratuities.
The cost does not include domestic and international airfare. Interfaith Peace-Builders works with a local travel agent in Jerusalem to secure the best group rates for the delegation to travel together on the same flight from Washington, DC to Israel/Palestine. Therefore, delegates do not need to book their own international airfare.
