Thu, March 21 at 7:00 pm
Join us as we host the New Israel Fund for an important conversation with Sally Abed and Alon-Lee Green, co-directors of Standing Together (Omdim Beyachad-Naqif Ma’an). Standing Together is an organization predicated upon the centrality of Arab-Jewish partnership, and is an essential voice during this difficult time in Israeli history. They will share personal stories about the work they have done and the support system they have created through their thousands of members–volunteers working to maintain a group of Jews and Arabs who are devoted to creating a society capable of achieving peace, equality, and social justice for all.
