Wahat al-Salam – Neve Shalom (pronounced “waaḥat’ as-salaam/nevei shalom”) is a village of Palestinian and Jewish citizens of Israel dedicated to building justice, peace and equality in the country and the region.
Situated equidistant from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Wahat al-Salam / Neve Shalom (WAS-NS) was established in 1970 by Fr. Bruno Hussar on land of the Latrun Monastery. It is a model of equality, mutual respect and partnership that challenges existing patterns of racism and discrimination as well as the continued conflict. The community has established educational institutions based on its ideals and conducts activities focused on social and political change. Many of the village members work in peace, justice and reconciliation projects. As of, 2023, it has a population of 70+ families and will grow to 150 families.
