3,000 Trees of Reconciliation

In order to to support peace by creating greater economic justice, Jewish Voice for Peace has committed to planting 3,000 olive trees in Palestine in 2008. Please help us meet our goal!

The saplings that will be planted will, someday, contribute in a material way to the livelihoods of the farmers and their families who have suffered as a result of the Israeli Occupation. Even more than the act of planting, JVP’s task is to begin the conversation among Jews about what the Occupation has meant for Palestinians and for a land that is called Holy. These Trees of Reconciliation will not only help to repair the fields, but they will also help to start a dialogue about our history in Israel-Palestine and the work we all must do to heal and repair.

Please donate to this campaign today!

In over 10 cities in the US and abroad, TuB'shvat Seders will honor our tradition and kick-start our Trees of Reconciliation campaign. Learn more about TuB'shvat and about the Seders here.
