Building a Shared Future is a cooperative project uniting five organizational partners—the Center for Middle East Normalization, Ohr Torah Stone, Talking Peace, Ghada Zoabi, and Leap Forward.
Together, we are co-creating a robust national network of direct, personal encounters between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel, creating real opportunities for connection and mutual understanding.
We believe peace and co-existence begins with perception.
When people sit face-to-face and share their stories, old assumptions soften. Authentic storytelling opens space for understanding, respect grows, and kinship becomes possible. Step by step, the walls between us fade, revealing a shared future.
As these transformative encounters unfold, they will be captured and shared through authentic, compelling media—created in both Hebrew and Arabic—illuminating real-world examples of shared living and mutual understanding.
