Addressing Israel/Palestine through a Jewish spiritual, social justice lens.

Four Sundays in the fall/winter of 2022:

November 20, December 4, 11, 18 (3 hour session on Dec. 18)

10am - 12pm ET (10am - 1pm ET on Dec. 18)

via Zoom

Israel/Palestine poses one of the most critical dilemmas facing the Jewish people today. 

Through a series of participatory workshops, Shleimut offers a gentle yet powerful approach for Jewish communities to consider a diversity of approaches to Israel/Palestine, including solidarity and resistance work.

Read a detailed outline of the workshops here.

Jews of all backgrounds are welcome. No particular knowledge or expertise in Israel/Palestine is required. As a cohort, we will share our personal experiences and listen to each other with an open heart through a structured yet emergent process.

This program is open to people in Pittsburgh. 

Cost: Sliding scale, from $36 - $450. No one will be turned away for financial reasons.

Note: Our registration software won't allow us to set a true "pick your price" tier, so we have pre-set tiers. If you want to contribute an amount different than one of the existing tiers, you can email Charlie at [email protected], tell her what amount you'd like to contribute, and she can add a tier for that price.

If you already filled out the interest form (it was a Google form), you do not need to complete the repeated questions (about questions, interest, etc.). If this is your first time filling out a form for Shleimut, please answer all questions in the form. Thank you!

Led by Shleimut’s founding director, Ilana Sumka brings twenty five years of leadership in organizing, activism and education. The past Jerusalem director of Encounter and founder of the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, Ilana’s facilitation style is grounded in compassionate communication, authentic expression, and embodied wisdom.
