<p>As the only religious Zionist peace organization
of its kind, we are in a unique position to counter
fundamentalist and extremist political arguments that
have erroneously placed the value of the Land of Israel
ahead of human life, justice, and peace -- concepts which
have always been central to Jewish law and tradition.</p>

<h4>Activities in 2002</h4>
<h5>Beth Midrash Leshalom</h5>
<p>A lively and successful Beth Midrash programme was organised this
month in six locations around the country. Thanks to all those who
participated, and especially to Naama, and to Professor Simon, Dr
Debbie Weissman, Tviya Greenfeld, Dr Yoske Achituv, Rav Yair Yaniv,
Prof. Baumgarten, Professor Kelner, Dr Gili Zivan, and Yishai
Rosen-Zvi.
</p>
<h5>Succat Shalom.</h5>
<p>
This year we will be holding two events during Hol Hamo'ed Succot. One
will be in English and will be held in the Succah of Mendel and Betsy
Shapiro. The evening will focus on the ideology of Netivot Shalom and
the evening's discussions will be followed by a fund-raising
session. The nature of the other Succat Shalom has to still to be
organised and suggestions are welcome.
</p>
<h5>Mishmar Leshalom.</h5>
<p>
After a long and at times violent season, we have suspended actvities
over the summer and will restart during Succot. We feel that our
presence is an important contribution to the atmosphere in the
Jerusalem "street". As we look forward to renewing the Mishmar
in the coming year, we are considering making changes in its
format. Suggestions are welcome.
</p>
<h5>Netivot Shalom Leaflet</h5>
<p>
A new leaflet is being written to explain our ideologies and
ideas. The leaflet will be mass-produced and hopefully will do much to
advertise the importance of Netivot Shalom. Members are encouraged to
make suggestions in regard to content and format.
</p>
<h5>Va'ad Gush Dan</h5>
<p>
A fledgling new Va'ad is being set up in the Gush Dan area to
encourage activities outside Jerusalem. Those interested in
participating, please ring David on 054 450723.
</p>
<h5>Netivot Shalom Weekend August 31st-Nir Etsion.</h5>
<p>
A group of members have approached us wanting to organise a weekend
for those outside Jerusalem. More details soon.
</p>
<h5>Eicha recital at Kever Rabin (co-sponsered by Temurot)</h5>
<p>
This was well attended this year with at least 150 people coming.

<p>Professor Uriel Simon's new book, "Bakesh Shalom Verodfehu" has just
been published. The book raises questions about the firm hold that
militeristic religiousity has in the public's perception by

Starting with the week of Parashat Shmot, we have been having a
Mishmar Shalom every Friday. It takes place at 14:00
across from the Prime Minister's House (Kikar Paris) and consists of
Tefilat Mincha and a Drasha on Parashat Ha-Shavuah.
<p>This photo, of the previous week's Mishmar, appeared in the Jerusalem
weekly newspaper "Kol Ha-ir" dated March 3, 2002.</p>

<p>The religious left-wing organization "Netivot Shalom" holds a
demonstration by the the Prime Minister's house every Friday. In
addition to signs protesting the occupation and the settlements, the
participants pray "Mincha" together, and one of them gives a D'var
Toarh. On last Friday, Yonatan Ben-Dov, one of the activists, spoke on
the unhumanistic character of the Book of Esther. Naamah Baumgarten,
spokesperson for the organization said, "We are collecting food items
and before Pesach we will will distribute them in the village of
Beit-Omer which is near Hebron".
