The Jewish Studies Initiative of North Texas enriches the lives of Jews with deep, pluralistic Jewish wisdom, garnered through the passionate study of traditional Jewish texts. Monthly classes are offered throughout the Greater Dallas area, private study is available by way of Skype, and both written and audio resources are to be found on this website and in our occasional eblast.

Faiths in Conversation
is an interfaith dialogue program in Dallas, Texas that Rav Hanan was instrumental in creating. It enriches the lives of both Jews and Gentiles by introducing each to the texts, interpretations and faith insights of the other. Monthly interfaith seminars and interfaith bible study are held in different houses of worship throughout the Greater Dallas area. |
Journey Towards the Other
Here is catalogued the personal journey of Rav Hanan as a Zionist settler in Alon Shvut-Gush Etzion in the biblical inheritance of the tribe of Judah-reaching across the divide to the Palestinian other. His spiritual transformation has brought him into contact with hundreds of Muslim and Christian Palestinians, and moved him to collaborate with others who have been similarly transformed, to create Roots/Shorashim/Judur, the Israeli Palestinian Grassroots Initiative for Understanding, Nonviolence and Transformation. This initiative enriches the lives of Palestinians and Israeli settlers by bringing them together to encounter the other and to open themselves up to the wildly different ways in which they each interpret past, present and future. The goal is personal transformation that creates room for acceptance of the other and his needs, ultimately preparing the ground for neighbors to live in fulfillment and harmony. Watch Rav Hanan and his partner Ali Abu Awwad speak about their efforts here. |
