The Mideast Peace Project held its first Peacemakers Workshop on the weekend of November 1^st - 3^rd at the Edith Macy Convention Center in Briarcliff, New York. Thirteen Jewish and Arab Americans had a very positive and productive experience. Many of the participants considered the weekend to be a transformative one in which they were able to bond with and develop friendships with everyone in the group regardless of what position they took and what backgrounds they had going into the weekend.
