Ofer Shinar
I had just spent a year studying what was done in Sri Lanka, in Argentina, in South Africa, in Rwanda -- all these places where people negotiated the past in different ways that were in sharp contrast to what was done here with regard to the Oslo process. So for me it was very clear that I should give up my lawyering skills for a bit and try to do something else.
Ofer studied and subsequently taught law and human rights at Tel Aviv University after his mandatory service in the Israeli army. At New York University, in 2001-02 he studied with South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation leader Alex Boraine, and has returned to Israel to help the Bereaved Families' Forum explore the idea and process of reconciliation.
