To work for justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians. As the Jewish New Year, 5771, comes upon us, we invite you to participate in the ritual of teshuvah, or turning, toward a new hope and a new world. Please share your hopes and commitments that will bring an end to injustice. Shanah Tovah, have a sweet and good year!
I promise to fight against intolerance!
I will work for respect for the Palestinian people and their rights and needs satisfied.
If I want peace, I will work for justice. I will take risks in a good way.
Shana Tova and Eid Mubarik to all jews and muslims. we are half brothers after all, but i promise to think of jews as my full brothers. i also promise to teach my children to love, tolerate and respect all religions. live in peace.
I promise to continue to work as much as I am able to tell the story of what is really happening on the ground in The Holy Land. I praise God for what you are all doing, and as a Christian, I will join you in all endeavors to advocate for and to help bring peace and justice to all people in the Holy Land. (Jews, Muslims and Christians)
I promise to do my best for a better time ,to raise my voice against racism and hatress of the Palestinian in Israel, To be active in my home & region to end occupoation for equality freedom and justice for Palestinians and Jews
I promise to carry on working to ending the occupation of Palestine; to challenge the lies, racism and Islamophobia I hear used to justify the genocide of Palestinians; to support the boycott campaign and refuse to buy produce grown on illegal settlements.
I promise to hold onto my dream of a world free from violence – no occupation, no war, no rape and sexual assault of women! Viva la justice!
my promise is to spread peace and happiness and to never back down and never give up.
I promise to think, pray and pursue peace in my community and to lift the lives of Palestinians here and in their homeland – to journey to Gaza and the West Bank again soon and as long as I am physically and financially able. – I promise solidarity with refugees and all who live under dictatorial rule, and to encourage nonviolence in whatever heart it is waiting to bloom. I promise always to seek justice for others and to disavow the spoils of conquest and oppression.
The work of ending this ugly occupation is exhausting, and as i practice self-care, i will also remember the importance of friends and community.
I promise to keep reminding people here in Ireland that some of the bravest people standing up for a just peace in the Middle East are Jews from around the world and from Israel itself.
Happy New Year.
I promise to stand up against racism and bigotry in all it’s forms.Happy New Year!
To strive to show more compassion, support, and appreciation, first to those around me, and to all.
io prometto di non abbandonare mai la mia lotta per favorire la pace tra palestinesi e israeliani !!!!!!
peace , pace SEMPRE per tutti i popoli
I promise to do all for peace.
More than a promise I wish you the best luck, to palestinians and israelis, to find the path of peace and mutual understeanding, because when both of you find the way, all your problems, step by step, wll be erase, good luck I will pray for this dream, and greetings and best wishes form Mexico.
I am hoping most that the round of peace talks now taking place will at last bear fruit and most of all that the U.S. backs off from its unfailing support of whatever Israeli policy is put forward. I will continue to press my congrssman whenever appropriate.
I am taking this opportunity and wishing ALL my Jewish “Cousins” a Shanah Tovah. Hope their new year will be as sweet as the Holiday treats – amen.
As for promises. I do not like to make them but I do my BEST to act out the promise that is already there in my head. “CREATING PEACE”
All people between the river and the sea should have the same rights, (national and individual) for this I will continue to struggle.
I promise not to hold any grudge to my ennemies that have taken my land, and to consider everybody as human beings and to treat them as such. I promise to promote peace whereever I can.
May peace and justice for all the peoples of the middle- east become a reality
I promise to work hard on my study and achieve my goals in life. I promise to always try and see whats important in life, to stand up for injustice and protect our fellow human being against racism on the bacis of color or ethnicity. I promise to try and do what I can for the people on this planet which are less fortunate than me, because I am from one of the richest countries in the world, Norway.
Bless us all, whoever God we believe in ( i am a non-believer)
Best Regards, Nina Narvestad
I promise to be in action for the Freedom and Justice for all the residents of Palestine-Israel, Jews and Muslims or Christians Palestinians. I promise to be in action for the reconciliation between the Jewish people in the land of Israel and the Papestinian Arabs in the land of Palestine and Israel. Shalom for all, Salaam for all….
I try to keep my heart open also for the israeli (individual and collective) point of view
I promise to try for a better world. I promise to consume less and to give more. I promise to talk less and act more.
I wish to have more bravery and less fear against the bad and the injustice in all over the world.
I promise my continuing support to you and everyone else who courageously campaigns against divisiveness and oppression.
It is only through reconciliation, empathy and understanding that changes can and will be made to reshape the future for all of us.
I promise to go on trying to stand up for what’s right, to speak out – and not condone – racism in all it’s forms, and to work against other forms of bigotry. This will include active support of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
I hope that the international grassroots movement will influence governments everywhere to bring about a just peace for both Israelis and Palestinians, and other peoples in the world.
This is my promise: – to find peace in my heart, to find love by loving others, and compromise in working deeply with myself; by going strongly inside me, to find the answers that lead me to light, higher conscience and unconditional love. And so it is !
To work for justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians!
I promise to alert my friends, who like myself are not Jewish, to the wonderful work being done by the Jewish Voice for Peace. Blessings on you all.
I promise that I will focus my energies on doing what is best for the cause of Palestinian freedom and equal rights for all, instead of simply what feels best for myself. I promise to remind myself as often as necessary that this struggle isn’t about me, but about others. I promise to be fearless but sensible; to be a leader but also a follower; to shout loudly but listen carefully. I promise to keep going, to always have hope and to never stop fighting, until justice runs down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I promise to do my best for peace and JUSTICE. I promise to honor this way the memory of my father and two grandparents victims of the Shoah and to firmly oppose to its misuse as excuse for crimes commited against the palestinians.
I promise to work for justice and peace for both Israelis and Palestinias .
I promise to work for peace and justice in Palestine based on human rights and international law and UN resolutions calling for the return of Palestinian refugees, proper compensation for decades of misery they suffered at the hands of the Zionists and for Jerusalem as a capital for the new state of Palestine.
I promise to respect Jews as good cousins and Judaism that was badly scarred and harmed by the Zionist crimes in Palestine and the Middle East. I promise to work for One Land for Two Peoples or One Land One De-Zionised State for two Peoples.
To embody tikkun olam in my being, doing, and activism.
To break down the “us-them” mentality.
To organize authentically.
To build and be part of Jewish community for justice in Palestine and Israel.
To continue taking bold, vibrant, creative action with CODEPINK Women for Peace and to jump start a national Move Over AIPAC campaign that exposes one of the largest lobby groups and calls forth a new, just Middle East Policy.
And to learn some great dance moves for youtubes and beyond.
Plus more observance of Shabbos.
I promise that, within my limited possibilities, I will always speak out for peace. I will condone bigotry and racism and pray with friends of all faiths that we can, together, perhaps create a better world.
Tolerance and Peace is my promise in a world gone bonkers with greed glittering as the ultimate evil facing humankind —- greed for gold, power and property!
May the peoples struggling everywhere in the world, be it Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Phillipines etc. for freedom and peace achieve their victory and lose the chains that bind them to the savagery they encounter almost everyday in their lives.
May God’s blessings encompass them all !
Peace,justice,acceptance and love all humanity. Treat others as we would like others to treat us.
I wish all the children of the world a colourfull new year, in which we accept and celebrate that no one is the same. I pray for justice and peace and pray that we are going to listen to eachother instead of shouting, burning of holy books, bumbing and occupation. I promise to share my hope of an other world as much as possible.
I promise to speak out against wrong even when it would be easier to stay silent. I also promise to work for peace between Israel & Palestine.

My promise is to treat everyone with dignity and respect, the way every human being should be treated, regardless of name, social status, sex, creed, race or religion. I have over the years begun a change within my own person and have come to realize that we are all worthy of all the good things life has to offer. The Palestinian people have been suffering long enough under a clamp down-military occupation and this can not continue. I promise to do what I can to bring peace, stability and dignity for the people of Palestine as well as the Israelis.
I promise to defend others without fear for myself or my name !
I promise to never accept intolerance, injustice and oppression and to fight all forms of racism against any people in this world, and to do everything in my power to keep myself from falling into any such bigotry.
I promise to bear in mind that whoever saves a life, it is as if they have saved a whole world, and whoever takes a life, it is as if they have destroyed a whole world.
I hope that those who are compassionate and just prevail and find a way to bring peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians, two peoples with one future, and I promise to do whatever is in my power to help this become true.
I hope that a new era soon comes in which human beings are the keepers of their smaller brothers and sisters, and of this whole wonderful world and of all the creatures in it.
Shalom-Salaam-Peace-Paz
I promise that my covenant to be of service shall not be broken.
My commitment is to work for peace in everything that I do, every moment, of every day.
I promise to pray for justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians.
I promise to do the hard work of peace making in my own life; to engage in non-violent resistance; to write about the people of Beit Ummar, Palestine, whom I met this past summer, to tell of their steadfastness and their suffering under occupation.
That I will redouble my efforts to seek justice and to end injustice, both in my little corner of the world and abroad in such ways that I can make a difference. This includes speaking out in defense of Israel’s existence but in protest and opposition of Israeli policies and actions that are abhorrent to me as a Jew, a mother, a lawyer, and a civil libertarian. That which I would not and do not gloss over and accept without criticism in my own government, I will not tolerate from Israel’s. In so doing, I hope to conduct myself so that my dear father would be proud of me, and so that my daughters will understand his conception of being a Jew through me — to fight for those who are wronged and stand up against social and political injustice and illegality wherever you find it.

I promise to be more patient with things that offend, irk, bore or simply trouble me. Closer to peace and unity.
Amiin.
I won’t use plastic bags or paper cups. If we are unaware of the harm we do to the earth in unconscious actions, we will be unconscious of actions which hurt other humans. I will remember every time I bring my cup or re-usable bag with me of the metaphor it provides for conscious living.
