Why does Israel seem to be a site of persistent social conflict?
How can better relationships be forged between Israeli and Palestinian neighbors?
What strategies can we envision for achieving a lasting peace in the region?

On Sunday, October 5, Dr. Menachem Mor (Dean of the Humanities, University of Haifa), has agreed to meet with Bean East students to address the contemporary social climate in Israel. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the history of Israeli-Palestinian relations, to reflect upon the current social climate in Israel, and to share ideas about how we can take constructive steps toward political, social, and economic justice. This conversation is the first event of our academic program, “Envisioning Community.” I hope you will come to learn about and discuss this very important topic.
