How can identities take shape through encounter and dialogue with the other?

We believe that Israeli-Palestinian dialogue is a meaningful stage in building a shared, inclusive, and just society. But beyond strengthening our ability to communicate and live together, side by side, encountering the other can help us examine the narrative that is familiar to us, and raise questions such as:

Who am I within my own group?
What have I taken for granted?
How does the story I grew up with shape what I see today?

The encounter that takes place between different narratives, beliefs, and traditions enables us to ask questions, develop critical thinking, and position ourselves within our own group of belonging, with openness to getting to know the other, and with recognition of power gaps and inequality.

Shared dialogue enables us to build trust, broaden perspectives, and create change.

You are invited to learn more about our work in the fields of dialogue on our website. Link in the first comment.

We are happy to share that we will be participating in the People’s Peace Conference this coming Thursday!

The conference, which will take place tomorrow, is an annual event of “It’s Time” coalition: 80 peace and shared society organizations working together with determination and courage to end the conflict and promote a reality of sustainable peace and security for all.

We will be there with the Rossing Center booth, where we will share our path toward promoting a shared, inclusive, and just society for all.

At the booth, our emotion cards will be available for purchase—an educational tool for facilitating emotional dialogue, in both Hebrew and Arabic.

We would love to meet you there!

Three weeks ago, we published the Rossing Center’s report "Attacks on Christians in Israel and East Jerusalem: Annual Report 2025". Reality has once again reminded us how serious, widespread, and troubling this phenomenon is, as reflected in the case of an IDF soldier who struck and vandalized a statue of Jesus in the town of Debel in southern Lebanon.

In the report’s recommendations, which are available to read, we emphasized the need for determined enforcement by the authorities in order to prevent such acts. At the same time, to ensure that incidents of this kind are not repeated, there is also a need for ongoing education toward tolerance, cultural pluralism, respect for different religions and cultures, and a deeper acquaintance with the diverse religious communities living in this country and in the region around us.

The report is available here:

Following the incident in which the Israeli police prevented the Patriarch from accessing the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday, Ophir Yarden - director of the Rossing Center’s ADAShA program, participated in a 'Tag Meir' solidarity delegation which visited Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin (Catholic) Patriarch in Jerusalem.
Ophir represented the Rossing Center and ICCJ, the International Council of Christians and Jews (which which Rossing is affiliated). As a member of ICCJ’s Executive Board Ophir transmitted a letter expressing disappointment that the unfortunate incident took place and solidarity with the Christian community, locally and globally.

Our 2025 Annual Report is now out.
In this recent period of instability and uncertainty - we invite you to take a moment to reflect on our work over the past year, and its implications in an ongoing reality that is complex and challenging.
The report provides a detailed overview of our activities across our various departments and the broad range of fields in which we operate.

We draw hope from our joint work, from our choice and that of our partners - all those who take part in our work, participate in our programs, and those who support us in any way - to act in these times and choose a shared life.

The report is available in our website. Link in the first comment
