Jewish Life & Israel

Hand in Hand Schools

Hand in Hand is a network of bilingual, integrated, and multicultural schools and communities working to build a shared and equal society between Arabs and Jews in Israel. We are located in Jerusalem, the Galilee, Wadi Ara, Jaffa, Haifa, and Kfar Saba, engaging in the profound and vital work to raise a new generation committed and equipped to create a culture of inclusion, hope, and respect.  Hand in Hand’s three-part model includes schools, where Arab and Jewish children study together in both Hebrew and Arabic, learning one another's language, history, and heritage. Hand in Hand also runs a constellation of community programming for thousands of parents, families and graduates, as well as public partnership programs with government and other institutions to expand our impact across the country.

 

"I hope that people will understand that I wouldn’t be the same person without Hand in Hand...Hand in Hand is much more than a school education. It’s part of our lives forever, and we truly believe in the values we share."
