Encounter

Encounter is a nonpartisan educational organization cultivating more informed and constructive Jewish leadership on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We enable deeply committed Jewish influencers to encounter firsthand the people, perspectives and challenges at the heart of the conflict. Our programs inspire new perspectives, new conversations and new approaches to the conflict. We are building a diverse Jewish leadership network across religious and political lines. *OUR MISSION* Encounter invites Jewish leaders to expand their view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to be a positive force for communal change. *OUR VISION* A Jewish community contributing to the pursuit of a durable resolution to the conflict in which Israelis and Palestinians live with respect, recognition and rights.
