Join the Shomrei Shleimut Training Institute
Shleimut offers an intensive online and in-person institute to train educators, leaders and facilitators who already have a background in Israel/Palestine to serve as Shomrei Shleimut, Stewards of Wholeness. As a result of successful participation in the Shomrei Shleimut Training Institute, a Shomer/Shomeret/Shomrei Shleimut (m/f/nonbinary) is well equipped to lead Israel/Palestine trips and workshops.
Shomrei Shleimut are pioneers in the field of Israel/Palestine change-making, helping to lead the way towards a more just, more equitable and more peaceful future.

- Training and apprenticeship as a small group facilitator in a weeklong Israel/Palestine delegation

Comic Relief
One of Shleimut’s guiding principles is humor. This 2 minute Jimmy Kimmel clip about a fictitious board game “Let’s Talk About Israel” isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and does not do justice to the profound inequities facing Palestinians under Israeli military rule.
At the same time, it is reflective of a real dynamic in the American discourse about Israel/Palestine. If you find it both tragic and hilarious, the Shomrei Shleimut Training Institute may be for you. Note: content warning for kids.
