Mission Statement
The American Friends of
Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam encourages, supports and publicizes
the projects of Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, the “Oasis
of Peace.” For more than thirty years, Neve Shalom/Wahat
al-Salam has been dedicated to dialogue, cooperation and
a genuine and durable peace between Arabs and Jews, Palestinians
and Israelis.
Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel have chosen
to live and work together as equals in this community to
promote trust, understanding and mutual respect well beyond
its own borders. At Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, the bilingual,
binational, multicultural Primary School, the School for
Peace, the Pluralistic Spiritual Center, and other projects,
serve the village and beyond reaching thousands of Jewish
and Palestinian youth and adults.
