Sinai Coexist

Sinai Coexist is a group at Temple Sinai dedicated to a peaceful, flourishing future for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Coexist was created in the wake of October 7th and the Gaza War. Amidst the great human suffering and tragedy, Coexist reduced the isolation that many of us were feeling and created a community where we mourn, learn, organize, and work together for a future where both Israelis and Palestinians can thrive.

Our guiding principles: 

We care about the lives of all people in the region, both Israeli and Palestinian. We support current calls for an immediate bilateral ceasefire in the Gaza war, the release of all hostages, and the goal of peaceful, just coexistence for all in Israel and Palestine. 

Within these general principles, our members hold a wide range of views on Israel, Zionism, and the ultimate path to a future solution of the conflict. 

We meet monthly—usually on the 4^th Wednesday of the month—for guest speakers or internal educational discussions. We share informational resources about Israel-Palestine with each other and may attend community events such as vigils, protests, or films together.

We warmly welcome new members who agree with our guiding principles and our core values. For more information and upcoming meeting dates, please email us at cots-steering@googlegroups.com.
