Arik Institute

Key: 
Arik Institute

The Arik Institute for Reconciliation, Tolerance and Peace is an Israeli nonprofit organization established in 2004 by Yitzhak Frankenthal, after his son Arik was killed while serving in the Israeli army. The Institute aims to “resolve the reactions of repression and denial among both the Israeli and Palestinian populations”, namely the Israeli denial of the occupation of the Palestinian Territories and the Palestinian denial of needing to assure Israelis that they want to live side-by-side in peace.
