PEACE with Penny SEASON 3: Penny S. Tee Interviews Dr. Norbert Goldfield, Founder & Executive Director of Healing Across the Divides, May 17, 2022


Healing Across the Divides, is an organization of American medical professionals who assist their Israeli and Palestinian counterparts in creating bridge-building programs that improve the health of both Israelis and Palestinians.


Established seventeen years ago, their mission is to “Measurably Improve the health of marginalized people living in the Palestinian Territories (PT) and Israel via community-based intervention.” They have funded and provided technical consultation to more than 50 community-based groups in the Palestinian Territories and Israel, and they have positively impacted the health and well-being of more than 200,000 Palestinians and Israelis. By partnering with other foundations in the United States and overseas, their Israeli and Palestinian staff, board and outside experts provide consultation to the community groups during their 3-year grant cycles. This is Peace building utilizing the health community as a conduit for change.


Our prayers continue to go out to the people of Ukraine. And as always, we conclude with a prayer, that Everyone will some day Live in Peace, שלום and سلام.
