The charity brings together and supports activities by Israeli and Arab partners in the search for concrete cooperation, which can contribute to finding solutions for some of the conflict. We need to create the conditions to allow for dialogue between nations so that perhaps in the future they may bring the desired solution required for a lasting peace.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">SACH is motivated by the age-old Jewish tradition of Tikkun Olam &ndash; repairing the world.
