Middle East Seminars

Neil,
You would think by now, after all these years, I would have already had enough of you... but you never cease to amaze me! Man - you did an amazing job with our Caravan for Democracy students. It was great seeing you in action and the students definitely rated your sessions as one of the highlights of the trip. I personally enjoyed it a lot. Thanks a lot Neil, we'll be in touch soon,

Crisis
Time 2 hours

Events in the Middle East are for ever changing.

Hamas is in now in government and Islamic fundamentalism is rapidly spreading. America has been drawn into a prolonged war in Iraq and Israel is seeking to define its borders.

The Middle East is more violent and more complicated

Have you ever wanted to explain to students what is happening in the Middle East but were not sure how?

If so "Crisis" was designed for you.

"Crisis" is a simulation game of nerves and is frighteningly realistic. It is a simulation game written by Neil Lazarus to explain events in the Middle East. It is suited for the campus, classroom or the youth group. It is suited for an evening activity for adults or university students of the Middle East.

Political Tour of Jerusalem
Time: 3 hours

Jews have been dreaming and praying for Jerusalem for over 2000 years. Every Jewish groom breaks a glass under wedding canopy in memory of a former glory. Jews pray for a return of the Temple, three times a day.

Jerusalem is central to the Arab Israeli Conflict and during the day we will explore the options for the future of the city. This seminar can be adapted using a choice of many sites in Jerusalem including:

A visit to Gilo. A suburban Jerusalem neighborhood attacked by gunfire from nearly Beit Jala
A visit to Har Homa an area of Jerusalem overlooking Bethlehem
