It was at the age of 20 when I realised my vocation in this world would be. At the time, I was serving in the Israeli army as a teacher of soldiers who had completed only a basic education (literacy, mathematics, etc.). I fell in love with the teaching profession and it was clear to me that I would adjust the course of my life so that sooner or later I would realise this dream for myself.

This year we’re taking part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge which means that all your donations will be doubled!

We were very sad this month to hear of the passing of Lord Jonathan Sacks and Dr. Saeb Erekat. Here at SNS, part of our learning about the conflict is examining the lives and efforts of leaders like these in trying to promote dialogue, negotiation and to find a way forward on the difficult path to peace - both among our British communities and in Israel-Palestine. They modelled attempts to understand others, whilst also showing leadership and being clear about their own beliefs and views.

I recently had the pleasure of leading a lunchtime talk on August 28 for members of ENCATE. The topic was understanding and tackling Antisemitism and Islamophobia in relation to the discourse around the topic of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
