In Search of Peace and Security:
A National Teach-In
Sunday, September 29, 2002
In Search of Peace and Security: A NationalTeach-in on Israel is a Reform Movement program designed to engage Reform Jews with the critical issues facing Israel today. Over 300 congregations have participated in the teach-in to date.
The goals of this teach-in are twofold. One is to strengthen our knowledge
and understanding of Israel's history and choices she faces in seeking
a peaceful and secure future. The other is to address what role we Reform
Jews can play toward her peaceful future. This teach-in is the beginning
of what we hope will be a program of dialogue and action that will take
place in many of our synagogues.
The teach-in is a project of Seeking Peace, Pursuing Justice, a program
of the UAHC dedicated to educating the Reform movement around issues
Israel faces in her pursuit of peace, security, and social justice.

Introduction to the Materials:
The program materials have been designed for use in a range of settings
and a variety of formats. Both large and small congregations will find
these materials useful. Some parts of the program will work more naturally
with one large group; others will work better with smaller groups. We've
included a number of suggestions for you to choose from. It is up to
you as an organizer of this teach-in to pick and choose which models
work best for your congregation.
