Martin Buber Summer Youth Institutes:

four one week programs in cooperative living, dialoguing, and prejudice reduction for Jewish and non-Jewish youth. Each week will welcome a different population of youth. The programs will also include gardening and music and the arts.

Sanctuary-Mishkan,

for personal spiritual renewal where individuals come for solitude and reflection during the week.

Shalom Seminars,

where religious and cultural groups would explore their commonalities and their differences, to develop greater understanding and trust. The Shalom Seminars would create bridges to Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American and Jewish groups, African-American, Hispanic, Asian and other ethnic communities.
