Praise for Our Work
The Jewish Dialogue Group is a non-partisan, grassroots organization that formed in November 2001 to foster constructive dialogue within Jewish communities about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since 2006, we have also been offering dialogue sessions that focus on other difficult issues, such as the war in Iraq.
Our board members, volunteers, and advisors have many different political perspectives, on the conflict and on other issues. As an organization, we do not take positions on any issues, but focus solely on promoting dialogue.
We are teachers, rabbis, students, librarians, writers, film-makers, editors, mediators, community organizers, café workers, construction workers, and artists. We come from many different streams of Judaism: Conservative, Reconstructionist, Orthodox, Reform, Renewal, and Secular. We are Ashkenazi and Mizrahi; fourth generation Philadelphians, and recent immigrants from Israel and Australia.
To date, the Jewish Dialogue Group has facilitated nearly 200 dialogue sessions involving approximately 2000 people. They have taken place in Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Boston, other parts of North America, and even Jerusalem.
