The conflict is thousands of miles away.
The impact isn't.

A space for Jewish and Palestinian professionals to talk—not about politics, but about what this moment is doing to our communities, our workplaces, and our lives.

Since October 7th, everything changed.

Workplace Discrimination
Jewish 47% increase
Muslim/Palestinian 36% increase
Microaggressions Experienced
Jewish 80%
Muslim/Palestinian 69%
Hate Incidents
Antisemitic 100%+ increase
Anti-Muslim 180% increase

Synagogues attacked. Mosques threatened. Colleagues who used to be friends now avoid each other in the hallway.

For millions of Jews and Muslims living in the diaspora, the conflict has followed us home—into our workplaces, our neighborhoods, our group chats, our family dinners.

We're caught between grief and fear. Between wanting to speak and being afraid to.

And most of us have never actually talked to someone from "the other side."

We have more in common than we've been told.

Right now, Jewish and Palestinian communities are experiencing parallel crises:

If you're Jewish:

  • You've felt unsafe in ways you never expected
  • You've been told your grief doesn't matter
  • You've lost relationships over this conflict
  • You wonder if anyone on the other side sees your humanity

If you're Palestinian or Muslim:

  • You've felt silenced, watched, suspected
  • Your pain has been dismissed or criminalized
  • You've lost relationships over this conflict
  • You wonder if anyone on the other side sees your humanity

The language is different. The pain is the same.

A different kind of conversation.

This isn't a debate platform. It's not about who's right.

It's a space where Jewish and Palestinian professionals can:

Small Group Dialogues

Facilitated video conversations with 5-6 people. Structured for safety. Designed for depth.

Story Sharing

Read and share personal stories about how this conflict has impacted your life—anonymously or openly.

Professional Network

Connect with people across the divide on work and career—because business can build bridges politics can't.

The gap between us is growing. It doesn't have to.

662 workplace discrimination complaints filed in just 3 months after Oct 7
1 in 3 Jewish employees feel unsafe being "openly Jewish" at work
0 platforms exist specifically for diaspora Jewish-Palestinian professional dialogue

Every day without dialogue, the divide deepens. Assumptions harden. Stereotypes calcify.

But every conversation—even one—can shift something.

Research shows that personal contact across group lines reduces prejudice more effectively than any policy, any statement, any social media post.

One conversation won't solve the conflict. But it might change how you see it.

This is for you if:

Jewish Professionals

  • You're exhausted by the isolation
  • You want to understand—not argue
  • You've never actually talked to a Palestinian about any of this
  • You believe dialogue is possible, even when it's hard
  • You're looking for hope in a hopeless moment

Palestinian & Muslim Professionals

  • You're tired of being spoken about, not spoken with
  • You want to be seen as a full human, not a headline
  • You've never actually talked to a diaspora Jew about any of this
  • You believe in the power of human connection
  • You're looking for something beyond the news cycle

Simple. Safe. Human.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this political?

No. We're not advocating for any political position. We're creating space for human connection.

Do I have to talk about the conflict?

Only if you want to. Many conversations focus on personal experience—work, community, family—not geopolitics.

Is this safe?

Safety is our priority. All sessions are facilitated by trained moderators. Ground rules are enforced. You can leave anytime.

Who runs this?

We're a small team of people who believe dialogue is possible—and necessary. Founded by Gilan Herman.

Is this free?

We're starting with free sessions while we build. Long-term, we may offer premium options for deeper engagement.

What if I'm not Jewish or Palestinian?

For now, we're focused on Jewish and Palestinian/Muslim diaspora communities. We may expand in the future.

The conflict won't wait for us to talk.

But maybe we can start anyway.

Every great shift in understanding began with two people deciding to listen.

You don't need to have answers. You just need to show up.
