Jewish Dialogue Group
Description edit
Reflections from Participants
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. In 2006, we have also begun offering dialogue sessions that focus on other controversial, 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.
