Sindyanna
Sindyanna
Sindyanna is a women-led fair trade organization active in the Arab-Palestinian Community in Israel that works to market environmentally sustainable, fair trade olive oil and other products. Sindyanna symbolizes a unique cooperation between Arabs and Jews, striving to strengthen the economy of the Arab-Palestinian population, both in Israel and in the Occupied Territories. Sindyanna is not only a means of helping farmers and growers from the South, but also a way of showing that a solution to the Middle East conflict starts at opening real economic opportunities.
Dorshei Tzedek has a partnership with Sindyanna in which CDT members have the opportunity to make regular purchases of Sindyanna’s olive oil. In the summer of 2016 during a CDT trip to Israel, the delegation visited Sindyanna’s visitor center and got a first hand view of their work.
Bottles (750 ml) of Sindyanna’s award winning oil are available for $18. It is certified organic, fair trade and Kosher for Passover (and delicious). To learn more about Sindyanna, go to www.sindyanna.com. For questions, please contact Jonathan Rosenthal at jonathan@just-works.com.

JanJanuary 29 , 2020IPPeace Study Group: Beyond the Green Line: The Territories Since 1967. Session I.
Wednesday, Jan 29th 7:30p
Our topic for 2020 is “Beyond the Green Line: The Territories Since 1967.” The first of our three sessions focuses on “‘Facts on the Ground’: Israel/Palestine in Time and Space.” This session will familiarize us with the chronology of events in the West Bank and Gaza from 1967 to the present and will explore, through maps and short readings, the ways in which these territories are organized, administrated, and populated. We will also look at key terms and controversies in naming and discussing the places and events “beyond the Green Line.” The study series is open to all members of CDT. Our goal is to foster learning and understanding in an environment where we can explore different viewpoints within an open and respectful learning community. Materials for the first session will be posted by January 8, but you are welcome to attend whether or not you have completed the readings. For further information, please contact any member of the ippeace steering committee: Louise Enoch, Elaine Landes, Sue Lanser, Ruth Paris, Jonathan Rosenthal. -
