Encounter believes that Jewish communal and civil society leaders have a powerful role to play in pursuing a durable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that upholds the dignity, security, and rights of all people. To that end, the nonpartisan organization educates these leaders about the complexity and the history of the conflict, gets them more proximate to it by taking them on trips to the West Bank and East Jerusalem where they have human-to-human exchanges with residents on the ground, and equips them with experiences, networks, and resources to proactively and positively shape their constituents’ engagement with Israel as it relates to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
