shir tikvah’s israel/palestine committee
The goal of the Israel/Palestine Committee—one of many member-led committees that report to the board of the congregation—is to support Shir Tikvah in engaging with Israel/Palestine in courageous, relational, and sustained ways, and to bring our congregation into deeper and clearer embodiments of justice.
The committee was officially formed in 2024 and replaces an ad hoc group that had begun organizing around the congregation’s relationship to Israel and Palestine prior to October 7th, 2023, and continued to hold that space in an essential and unofficial capacity in the difficult months that followed. We are striving to step into our new role with urgency while balancing leadership and listening. As always, all members of the Shir Tikvah community are still welcome and encouraged to offer programming and action opportunities, and share your needs and ideas for our congregation’s engagement with Israel/Palestine in this moment of crisis and over time.
Please contact us with your ideas, questions, requests, and comments at shirtikvahip@gmail.com.
