Rabbis for Human Rights have worked in Israel to create a different image of what it means to be a religious Jew--accompanying Palestinian farmers as they graze their sheep to defend against Settler attack, and speaking out against increasingly Hawkish Israeli government.</span><br style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:13px">

<br>The event is sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace Boston, a chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, the largest US-based grassroots organization dedicated to promoting full equality, democracy, and self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians. <br>
<br>***<br><br>Rabbis for Human Rights is the only rabbinic voice of conscience in Israel, defending human rights of marginalized communities within Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The organization was founded in 1988, and today has over 100 members-all Israelis and all ordained Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Renewal rabbis as well as some rabbinical students. Rabbis for Human Rights is dedicated to the ideals, principles and values on which the State of Israel was founded.<br>
