Jews and Arabs sitting together, building a shared future — when a movement like this grows, it can change everything.

We kicked off this journey in Bat Hefer with the very first gathering of The Abrahamic Movement in Emek Hefer, Israel. This Thursday, we take the next step in the Negev at the official launch event of the Bedouin Abrahamic Movement in Qasr al-Sir, hosted by Youssef Al-Hawashla, CEO of the Abrahamic Movement in the Bedouin sector. Next stop: Haifa!

This special gathering was covered by Bokra, a prominent Arab news platform — amplifying our message across the Arab world and beyond.

“All too often, the prevailing belief worldwide — and in the region — is that encounters between Jews and Arabs inevitably lead to hostility. Changing that narrative by showing the real, everyday practice of coexistence is an urgent mission that deserves global attention.”

This initiative is part of the “Building a Shared Future” program, made possible through a powerful coalition:

Coalition Partners
  • The Abrahamic Movement
  • Leap Forward — Ghada Zoabi & Tawasul Association
  • The Jerusalem Interfaith Center
  • Siach Shalom (Dialogue of Peace)
  • The Interfaith Encounter Association

Together, we are creating a nationwide network of Jewish-Arab encounters and producing media in both Hebrew and Arabic. We are showing how our shared Abrahamic roots can serve as a foundation for a future where both communities truly thrive.
