Symposium Series
where regional insight and wisdom, meet Israeli chutzpah and charm
Talks & Courses
At Shalom Carmel, we believe the most profound insights happen away from the noise.
Our symposiums are not standard lectures,
they are experiential and engaging discussions and debates,
held in the vineyards, private salons, or even online.
Today’s world is a global village.
A virtual ‘meet-up’ with us, is only a click away!
Whether unravelling the complexities of the Middle East or exploring the roots of Zionism,
we provide the intellectual and emotional context that transforms a ‘fireside chat’,
into a profound realm of understanding.
We have developed a number of practical tools and instruments
that allow our guests to turn a meaningful course or symposium with us,
into a world of wisdom and worldiness.
In addition to the all-important ability to engage on the topic,
and the integrity that comes from a truly deep understanding amidst the noise,
we hope to instill in our participants, the courage to speak up at the right time, for the right causes.
