One year for the mepeace.org domain :-)

Among the dignitaries present at the convention: MK (Member of Knesset) Rabbi Michael Melchior, MK Isaac Hezog -… Continue

Happy Birthday mepeace community

The idea for our community was born exactly one year ago. How? I wanted

organizations to meet. We met over coffee in Tel Aviv, on the 24th of

December, 2006.

I typed a one page summary (email me to see it). The mission statement: “Create a community for activists to convene,

network and inspire each other regularly”. My friends decided this

would not work.

So I took the idea for our… Continue

Recap of mepeace tour in America

This week I returned to Israel from America, where I promoted mepeace.org in New York, Texas, Washington and Annapolis. I want to share the details here.

In New York, I met with the World Jewish Congress, where they appreciate

our community on the web. I met also with Hashomer Hatzair, Habonim

Dror and UPZ (visit their groups on our site to learn about them). We

discussed ways for growing in the United States.
