Jitli summer trip 2010
Summer trip this year was amazing.
JITLI (JACOBS INTERNATIONAL TEENLEADERSHIP INSTITUTE) is a project that deals with co-existence between Jews and Muslim Arabs. The participants are Jewish youth from Israel and the United States and Muslim youth from the Negev Bedouin community.
The project is based on learning to know your neighbors up to the most personal levels This project is the vision of the Jacobs family from San Diego. Gary and Jerri-ann Jacobs.
The 40 participants of this project are:10 Jewish teenagers from Shaar Hanegev Israel, 10 from San Diego USA, 10 Bedouin teenagers from Segev Shalom and 10 from Laquiya .All participants are at the end of the 11th grade. The number of the boys equals to the number of the girls. During the year each community prepares itself to the challenging summer trip. The beginning point of the trip is equal to all the communities.
At the same time another summer trip takes place, of a group called "Peace Makers Jitli Mexico." This summer trip is built on the same principles of Jitli but the participants come from the villages of Arara and kara in Wadi Ara, Menashe Regional Council and New Mexico city. The northern branch is funded by the Sternberg families from Mexico and San Diago.
I participated Jitli summer trip so the coverage will focus on the experiences of the southern branch of the project.The teenager boys and girls were fascinating, full of admiration and curiosity and were ready to discuss the questions and conflicts that rose during the trip.Some of the questions were

I participated Jitli summer trip so the coverage will focus on the experiences of the southern branch of the project.The teenager boys and girls were fascinating, full of admiration and curiosity and were ready to discuss the questions and conflicts that rose during the trip.Some of the questions were
1.what is my identity? Jewish or Israeli? Jewish or American? Moslem, Palestinian, Israeli, Bedouin? What is my personal order?
2. Modernization and traditions, religions and traditions, what is my personal preference? We visited synagogues, mosques, churches. We found a lot of subjects that are similar in those religions.
3. Boys and girls that are from each other culturally and religiously, what are the possibilities of building bridges of friendship among them?
4. What are the feelings to experience historical events in the places they happened?
5. What is the contribution of such a trip to the advancements of the relationship between Jewish and Bedouins that live together in the Negev?
6.How to build a dialogue with mutual respect that has both listening and arguments?
I finalize this post by giving my opinion about the cultural differences among the communities.The American youth are very much involved, we can feel and hear them, they always have something to say; they know the limits between allowed and forbidden ( usually).The Bedouin youth are very sensitive, quiet, and proud in their tradition and keep it as best possible. During the trip they always came to me and asked if I need any help, to carry, to sit….most of them say their opinions out loud only if it suits the tradition and religion, but some of them very bravely said their opinions although it was against their accepted tradition. There were many and varied opinions (surprise) The Jewish Israeli youth think, they are sensitive, have what to say, protecting Israeli positions, there is a collective responsibility, a demand of their "rights".
I enclose the summer trip planFrom the next post I'll describe the trip, every day its' stories, pictures, feeling…..questionsI'll be more then happy to read your comments, questions, opinion…..
