Introduction: How to use this resource

NIF-out-of-the-Box is a collection of educational modules on issues relating to social justice in Israel. The modules are designed to enable you to host a gathering to explore issues such as minority rights, religious pluralism, women’s empowerment, and civil rights – and to introduce people to the New Israel Fund’s work.

NIF-out-of-the-Box can be used at synagogues, educational institutions, on campus, or just at home with friends. You may choose from two styles of presentation. One is used with a Participant Handout and the other is used with PowerPoint slides.

Below is a Facilitator’s Packet, as well as links to each educational module. You will also find a link to Justice, Justice You Shall Pursue, a video about the New Israel Fund to help you and your group learn more about NIF.
