Jews for Peace in Palestine and Israel (JPPI)
Jews for Peace in Palestine and Israel (JPPI) is a group of American Jews who believe that a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel is attainable through negotiations based on international law and the implementation of relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions.

Mideast Web Gateway
The Middle East is our home. We want to build a beautiful home, a safe and prosperous one for us and our children. However, without cooperation between peoples, there is no hope and no life for any of us. This can only happen after we change our ways of thinking about many things. We need to overcome the effects of decades of conflict, separation and hate propaganda. The MidEast Web Group will use the Web, the Internet and other media to promote and publicize dialog, people-to-people and educational projects, and to make non-violence, tolerance and rapprochement key values in oursocieties. For charitable organizations and dialog groups, MidEast Web is a shared publicity resource - and a place to find resources to help them in their work. For everyone, it will be a service and, we hope, a useful, interesting and entertaining source of information.

Yakar Center for Tradition & Creativity
Yakar believes that one should learn Torah with an analytical mind, without compromising intellect. But in addition, one must find ways of internalizing that Torah so that it becomes real to yourself, part of your reality. If you like, the text reads you as much as you read it. This sense of personal reality influences what you learn and what you do with it. For once it becomes part of you it is carried naturally into the street and your Torah enables you to sense the pain of the other.
