The Peres Center for Peace is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1996 by President of Israel and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mr. Shimon Peres, with the aim of furthering his vision in which people of the Middle East region work together in order to build a real and lasting peace. Our mission is to build an infrastructure of peace and reconciliation by and for the people of the Middle East that advances socio-economic cooperation and mutual understanding. Our activities are based on five main pillars: People-to-People Dialogue and Interaction, Capacity-Building through Cooperation, Nurturing a Culture of Peace in the Region's Youth, Business and Economic Cooperation, and Humanitarian Responses. Through extensive communication and interaction with Arab partners, the Peres Center has come to understand that sustainable peace and stability can only be developed in the Middle East region through the elevation of social and economic capacities. Accordingly, the peacebuilding activities of the Peres Center focus on common Arab-Israeli social, economic, developmental, cultural and educational interests, with an emphasis on nurturing Palestinian-Israeli relations. The Peres Center designs and facilitates tangible peacebuilding projects that address these interests, utilizing cross-border, regional and international partnerships to bring these initiatives to fruition.

Bnai Mitzvah can greatly contribute to our wide array of peacebuilding activities, by raising vital funds for our work in honor of their bar/bat mitzvot. In the past, our bnei mitzvah heroes have utilized our website, which offers the convenient option of on-line credit-card donations to our American Friends Association (a registered 501(C) 3 Charity) to raise much-needed contributions for our organization. Grateful for such initiatives, the Peres Center is pleased to provide Bnei-mitzvot with brochures on the Peres Center, videos, photographs and more to assist with these much appreciated fundraising efforts. Each Bnei Mitzvah receives a personal contact within the Peres Center with whom he or she may consult with along the way. This contact will also provide regular progress reports on funds collected and their utilization; additionally, custom-designed certificates will be provided for each donation. Bnei Mitzvah youth can either choose to donate funds to the Peres Center for Peace and have the organization allocate it to where it is most needed, or choose a specific field or project which they would like to support. Fields in which we work include: Agriculture, Water & Environment, Business & Economics, Culture, Media & the Arts, Information Technology, Medicine & Health, Sports and more.
