December, 2005

Dear friends and supporters of Interns For Peace-IFP:

As we approach the beginning of 2006, our hopes for peace in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and other areas of conflict around the world need to be on the ground, as well as in our hearts.  Now is the time to add your voice to mine in support of the work of Interns For Peace.

This is a pivotal time for IFP.  Your year-end gift will impact tens of thousands of people in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and beyond.  IFP is the only group that is training Orthodox and secular Jews, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians from the poor and the most fundamentalist and resistant populations.   Because our work is on the street, it affects not only the participants, but also entire families and communities.

At this moment in history, moderates who are social builders need to be exalted within their communities by outsiders who support them.  The very survival of democracy in the lands surrounding Israel is affected by the work of Interns For Peace.  Please help us keep hope for peace alive by sending a generous tax-deductible gift to Interns For Peace, today. 

Shalom, Salaam, and Peace,

Barbara Balik

Chairman, INTERNS FOR PEACE
