Jewish Dialogue Group

Working to promote constructive dialogue within Jewish communities
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and other controversial issues

Upcoming Events


Dialogue Session at the JCC in Manhattan

Where: 76th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side

When: Wednesday, February 6
             7 to 9pm (please arrive by 6:45 to settle in)

What: The diversity and intensity of opinions expressed by Jews on current issues all too often promote conflict rather than understanding. But it is possible to have constructive, respectful conversations with people whose views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are different from yours.

Jews of all perspectives are invited to an evening of facilitated small group discussions with the Jewish Dialogue Group to share and reflect on your concerns, hopes, fears, ideas, and questions. Listen with curiosity to others; and explore your own and others’ perspectives. Created in 2001, the Jewish Dialogue Group is a grassroots organization which has led more than 150 dialogues throughout the Philadelphia area, New York, and other parts of North America.

Advance registration is required.

Fee: $10 for JCC members / $7 for non-members
