The “The Prism Project: Expanding Israel Conversation and Learning in Jewish Cleveland” is a journey of exploration and co-creation that began informally in 2022 when a small group of rabbis, educators, and Jewish leaders developed this initiative to expand the capacity within the Cleveland Jewish community to be able to talk with one another and teach about Israel in a way that includes multiple and complex Israeli and Palestinian narratives, histories and issues with nuance, intention, empathy, and strategic focus.
