Marking Tu Bishvat by Protecting Palestinian Land

Tu Bishvat calls us to protect the people whose lives and dignity are tied to the land. Below, we share a message from Combatants for Peace (from Sunday) about their recent work standing with Palestinian farmers under threat, and an invitation to give in honor of the recent holiday:

Tonight marks the beginning of Tu Bishvat, the Jewish New Year of the Trees – a time that calls for renewal, responsibility, and the protection of land and the people who depend on it. We chose to mark this moment as a call to action and a reminder that Israelis and Palestinians can, and must, stand together to protect livelihoods and resist dispossession, settler terrorism and incitement.

On Friday, activists from Combatants for Peace and Bnei Abraham gathered to support a Palestinian organic farm located in the heart of the Gush Etzion settlement bloc. The family has lived and farmed this land for more than 200 years. Today, they are the only Palestinian farming family left in the area, surrounded by settlements, outposts, and a growing pattern of settler violence, intimidation, and land takeover.

„The initiative began by feeding 150 families a day in April 2024 and quickly grew to serving 3,000 people daily. Operating amidst unimaginable scarcity and risk, our team works tirelessly to prepare and serve hot, nourishing meals. We are not an outside aid group; we are the people of Gaza, serving our own community through the Gaza Soup Kitchen and local Palestine NGO efforts“.

Helpful or Harmful?

We’re starting from a shared premise: contact alone is not enough. If dialogue is meant to encourage participants to critically examine reality and imagine change, it must be intentionally designed and carefully facilitated. But that raises a central dilemma:
Is dialogue most effective when it happens together or separately?

Both having begun their own journeys as participants in dialogue groups and working their way up to leadership positions, our speakers bring deep, lived experience from the field:

Lana Ikelan, Co-Director of Seeds of Peace Jerusalem (formerly Kids4Peace), engages young people across deep asymmetries of power and narrative.
Dina Gardashkin, former Co-Director of Sadaka-Reut, confronts inequality, education, and political responsibility.

Together with Lana and Dina, questions such as will be explored:
• How does the group setting impact the process participants undergo?
• What kinds of transformation are possible only in mixed groups or only in separate groups?
• What are the risks and limitations of each framework?

🗓 Sunday, January 25, 2026 | 8 pm Jerusalem time (19.00 Uhr MEZ)
