About Abraham Initiatives
Team
The Abraham Initiatives is a shared society organization, promoting Jewish-Arab partnership across all aspects in Israel's society. Our team reflects the values of the organization, and is comprised of Jews and Arabs from across Israel, all with significant expertise in building Jewish-Arab relations. The day-to-day running of an organization with staff from the different populations, and the three faiths, has enabled us to develop models for managing a diverse staff in a positive and collaborative manner.
