"We hope that Solidarity of Nations – Achvat Amim participants have positive life-changing experiences as individuals and a meaningful collective journey. We hope that we will actively connect our exploration of Jewish tradition, history and values with our vision and strategy for making a better world. We hope that our participants are connected to the struggle for justice and peace here and that they incorporate the value of self-determination for all peoples into their lives.”
