Sikkuy on Jewish-Arab Relations and the Summer of 2014: Current assessments and lessons learned

New York,
Nov 6, 2014
12:30pm


As Israeli life gradually returns to normalcy following the end of Operation Protective Edge, many civil society leaders are assessing the lasting effects of the escalations that took place within Israel between Jewish and Arab citizens, and what measures might be taken today to maintain and restore relations, and prevent such escalations in the future.

Join us on November 6th to hear Ron Gerlitz, Co-Executive Director of Sikkuy, discuss the rise in acts of incitment and tensions over the summer, civil society's response at the time, and the long-term impact on Jewish-Arab relations and efforts to improve them.

LETTER FROM CARL

Dear Sikkuy Friends,

In a few days, Sikkuy’s co-executive director, Ron Gerlitz will fly to the USA for a week of presentations and meetings.  This visit had originally been planned to include Jabir Asaqla, Sikkuy’s co-executive director, but unfortunately, due to medical constraints, he will not be able to make the trip.

Ron will participate in all of the presentations and meetings as planned and scheduled.

We draw deep encouragement from the interest of so many communities to hear an update about the status of Jewish-Arab relations in Israel in the aftermath of the summer conflict and to learn more about Sikkuy’s work to advance equality and shared society in Israel.
 
Here is the schedule:

November 3 – Washington D.C.
November 4 – New York City
November 5 – Baltimore
November 6 – New York City – Ron speaks at a luncheon sponsored by the IATF: Sikkuy on Jewish-Arab Relations and the Summer of 2014: Current assessments and lessons learned -see the invitation on the right

We hope that those of you in Pittsburgh and New York will attend the events.  And for those of you who can’t but would like to meet with Ron, please be in touch and I will set up a meeting.

Sincerely,

Carl Perkal

Director of Resource Development –
