Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue The Rossing Center is an interreligious organization which promotes an inclusive society for all

The Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue is a Jerusalem-based interreligious, peacebuilding organization. We believe that understanding, justice and equality will enable Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, and we envision societies which embrace religious, ethnic and national diversity as an asset rather than a threat. Founded in 2006, the Rossing Center is a leading organization in the field of interreligious education and encounter, with a diverse Israeli-Palestinian staff of Jews, Christians and Muslims who engage over 10,000 individuals in our activities each year. Our mission is to build the desire and capacity of Israelis and Palestinians to create truly shared societies for all groups, and we are working to achieve this by teaching skills and values of inclusivity within the Israeli education system, as well as engaging Jews and Arabs in mixed spaces.

Hanna Bendcowsky, our Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations JCJCR Program Director, who has been part of the Rossing Center since its early days, reflects on where this work began and why it remains so important today.

As part of the Rossing Center’s work, the Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations JCJCR works to promote peace by fostering greater acquaintance and building stronger relationships between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land.

Through education and public engagement, we work to deepen understanding of Christianity and the unique place of Christian communities in the Holy Land, among both local and international audiences, while strengthening Jewish-Christian relations within the complex reality in which we live.

We believe that religious freedom, and the dignity and safety of Christian communities in Jerusalem and throughout the Holy Land, are an integral part of building a just and equal society - one that embraces religious, ethnic, and national diversity as an asset rather than a threat.

Your support enables us to continue this work.

Hear from Moria, our intern in the Dialogue Department, about the role dialogue can play in peacebuilding and building bridges between people.

As Moria says, we believe dialogue is a vital part of building peace and creating a different future for everyone in the Holy Land. But engaging in dialogue in a complex and deeply conflicted reality is not easy. It requires sensitivity, curiosity, and genuine listening.

Your support helps us keep people engaged in deep, sensitive, trauma-informed dialogue — dialogue that does not shy away from complexity, but seeks to engage with it honestly.

For Haitam Melhem, who facilitated our teacher training program at the school in I’billin, education is also about creating opportunities for people who may live side by side, but rarely truly meet, to encounter one another differently.

“What drew me to the Rossing Center was the way it connects meaningful social action with educational work. It was about creating the conditions for connection between people who often live close to one another, but do not always truly meet. Real connection is not simple, but it is powerful and it is necessary.”

This is the work we invest in every day: equipping educators and facilitators to create spaces for dialogue, understanding, and honest human connection — and through them, reaching the next generation.

Support the educators and leaders who are shaping a better future.

Why invest in peace at a time like this?
In a moment marked by division and fear, bringing people together is an investment in a different future.

At the Rossing Center, Israelis and Palestinians, Jews, Muslims and Christians come together across religious and national divides: to listen, share, and build the relationships and skills needed for a more just and peaceful shared society.

We wish all the students, teachers, school principles and educators starting the year today a successful and meaningful year ahead!

Educating the next generation is one of the most powerful ways to build a better society, rooted in peace, justice, and equality.
That’s why we work within the education system, giving young people the tools to develop empathy, challenge prejudice, and better understand those who are different from them.

Because changing how the next generation sees one another can help change the reality we live in.

Change the Story - invest in Peace
Today we are launching our crowdfunding campaign.

When fear and distrust divide us, change can feel out of reach. But we believe another future is possible - and we need to invest in it now.
Every day, educators, students, and community leaders are choosing dialogue over division and creating new possibilities in their communities.
