Mission and Program Overview

Mission

While the jewish community continues to be one of the most influential stakeholders in the israeli-palestinian conflict, most american jews have never met a palestinian, nor seriously encountered palestinian narratives or perspectives. Influential segments of the american jewish community advocate for solutions to the conflict and educate the next generation about it in complete isolation from palestinian people and claims. This information vacuum perpetuates our failure to bring about real, viable solutions and furthermore, research demonstrates that simplistic advocacy efforts are driving away our next generation's engagement with the jewish community and their commitment to israel. Encounter exists to reverse and transform this reality. Founded by american rabbis and rooted in jewish tradition, encounter is a conflict transformation organization, equipping influential jewish leaders from across the political and ideological spectra with access to palestinian perspectives and claims

Encounter is an educational organization working toward informed, courageous, and resilient american and israeli jewish communal leadership on the israeli-palestinian reality.
