Encounter on the tubes!

Just wanted to give a shout out to the folks at Encounter. Encounter is an educational organization that provides Jewish Diaspora leaders from across the religious and political spectrum with exposure to Palestinian life. They do really incredible work and are worth checking out no matter where you are in the galaxy of views about Israel and Palestine. I know a good chunk of the staff who make it run and couldn’t be prouder to call them friends. They’ve got a new video showing a little bit of what they do, check it out:
