The Jaffa Institute’s service area includes a diverse population of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Israelis, as well as asylum seekers and foreign workers. Our unique Building Better Bridges program promotes a peaceful and accepting community through curricular and extracurricular programming offered to children, parents, and educators in four diverse public schools in Jaffa and South Tel Aviv. Through this sensitizing program, children build common ground with one another and develop peaceful communication skills, parents unite over similar parenting challenges they face, and educators create welcoming classroom environments. By bridging differences in cultures, histories, and languages, the Jaffa Institute hopes to cultivate a true generation of peace.
