The Rossing Centre for Education and Dialogue is an inter-religious, peace-building non-profit organisation based in Jerusalem. Founded in 2006 by Daniel Rossing (originally as the Jerusalem Centre for Jewish-Christian Relations), the centre works to foster an inclusive, shared society for Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Israel and the Holy Land.
It engages roughly 10,000 participants annually across several key spheres of action:
1. Education & School Programs
Dialogue and Identity: Twinned programs connecting Jewish, Christian, and Muslim primary schools to promote intercultural tolerance, combat stereotypes, and build relationships among young students.
Educating for Change: In-school training for teachers and school staff, equipping them with tools to handle conflict-related discussions, address racism, and manage difficult political topics in the classroom.
2. Dialogue & University Engagement
Meeting Place & Dialogue Circles: Programs on university campuses (such as Hebrew University) that bring together Jewish and Arab students for facilitated text study, discourse, and joint initiatives.
Community Building: Local grassroots projects, such as the Open House in Ramle, aimed at facilitating interfaith, intercultural, and intergenerational dialogue in mixed cities.
3. Jerusalem Centre for Jewish-Christian Relations (JCJCR)
Focuses specifically on educating the broader Israeli society—including government officials, tour guides, educators, and security forces—about the local Christian communities in the Holy Land to reduce friction and build understanding.
4. International Engagement & Research
ADAShA: Organises inter-religious study tours and seminars for international groups.
Research, consulting, and policy advocacy aimed at addressing systemic inequalities, tracking interreligious tension, and exchanging best practices with global peace-building organisations.
