  • Mission, Values or Objectives of Group
    Minnesota Jews for a Just Peace is a grassroots organization of Jews who work in concert with allies in Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota, who feel called upon to act out of Jewish traditions and values in response to the continued Israeli occupation of Palestine.  We believe that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and the treatment of Palestinian and other Arab peoples are inconsistent with Jewish values and we call for actions which suppport justice and peace for all involved.  As an organization we work 1) within the Jewish community to educate otehr Jews through a variety of forums an ddirect actions; 2) outside the Jewish community and particularly with the Arab community, to build coalitions and act as allies; and 3) in solidarity with Israeli Jews and Palestinians who are also currently working for a just and sustainable peace.

  • Highlights of Past Accomplishments
    Weekly vigils in solidarity with Women In Black Vigils Co-sponsor Human Rights day event with American Anti-Arab Discrimination Committee participating in various peace alliance group presentations to elected officials.

  • Future Plans and Direction
    Plans to work within Jewish community to educate about various perspectives related to Israel/Palestine.  Working on a possible information gathering trip to Israel and Palestine.
