TU B'SHEVAT 2016!

Join Rabbis for Human Rights on Monday January 25th as we plant trees in the Palestinian village of Duma for Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish version of Arbor Day!

With tensions high, now is the time to show the world that solidarity and fellowship between Jews, Israelis and Palestinians is possible!

JOIN RABBIS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AS WE PLANT OLIVE SAPLINGS IN THE PALESTINIAN VILLAGE OF DUMA, WHERE THE HORRIFIC ARSON MURDERS OCCURRED LAST SUMMER, AND WHERE OLIVE SAPLINGS WERE UPROOTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 5 YEARS AGO.

Your participation takes a stand against Jewish extremism, shows Palestinians a different face of Judaism, promotes solidarity and fellowship between Palestinians and Israelis, and directly benefits generations of Palestinians to come. Plus – you’ll have fun while doing it!
