[Jewish] intergroup dialogue on Israeli/Palestine issues

[Steven Nathan]

Greetings,

As many of you might have heard, the Office for Diversity and
Multicultural Education is organizing a series of student conversations
around the topic of Israel and Palestine. I am now reaching out to each
of you because you have either participated in previous conversations,
or colleagues at Hampshire have mentioned you as someone that might be
interested in continuing these conversations.

Conversations would be facilitated by outside experts. We are in contact
with The Karuna Center, a group with experience with intergroup
dialogues of this type. These conversations would not follow a debate or
discussion format. Their intention is to bring us together to build
community through our commonalities and differences.

The dialogues can accommodate between 15-25 students, who would need to
agree to participate on four 3-hour evening sessions, with meals
provided by Hampshire (good food, I promise!). The dates would be
Tuesday, March 3, 6:30-9:30
Wednesday, March 4, 6:30-9:30
Tuesday, March 10, 6:30-9:30
Wednesday, March 11, 6:30-9:30

What I would need from each of you is for you to consider this
opportunity, and let me know as soon as you can if you would want to
participate.

Thanks a lot for your attention so far, I hope we get to collaborate in
this program now and many other opportunities in the near future.

Best,

Jaime
