Dr. Nava Sonnenschein is one of the bones behind the conflict facilitation centre School for Peace at Wahat al Salam ~ Neve Shalom. She not only founded it together with others but has conducted serious research into the work they are doing, resulting in several publications, most recently Dialogue Challenging Identity: Jews Constructing their Identify through Encounter with Palestinians (Pardes, Haifa 2008), which is so far only available in Hebrew. Here she explains in depth why the School for Peace at Wahat al Salam ~ Neve Shalom is a unique place for encounter work between Jews and Palestinians.
