Abraham’s Vision is a conflict transformation organization that explores group and individual identities through experiential and political education. Examining social relations within and between the Jewish, Muslim, Israeli, and Palestinian communities, we empower participants to practice just alternatives to the status quo.
CURRENT EVENTS
Abraham's Vision
Vision Program
The 2009-10 Vision Program Fellows completed the summer component of the Vision Program - a four-week summer educational trip in the Balkans.
Now that the Vision Program fellows have returned to their campuses and home communities they will engage in two weekend conferences, aimed to process their return to their lives and campuses after the summer, and organize and participate in campus and community presentations, which help articulate their own voices as they relate to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict using a social justice lens.

The UnityJam Benefit Concert was a touching, reflective event which brought together 357 AV supporters and Vision and Unity Program students and for a night of eclectic, world music. On the evening of January 17, Pakistani rocker Salman Ahmad and Common Chords (Elizabeth Schwartz, Lou Finnochi, Muhammad Saleem, and Yale Strom) gave a heartwarming, dance-inspiring performance.
Abraham's Vision is now accepting applications for the 2010-11 Vision Program Fellowship, a ten-month fellowship for Jews and Palestinians (from the Middle East and the US) wherein fellows explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict academically utilizing the lens of comparative conflict and social justice analysis, and personally through individual and group processes.
