ADS, POSTERS, FACT SHEETS, DIVESTMENT BOOKLETS, JEWISH RITUAL GUIDES:

Want to spread the message of ending the occupation through visuals? Jewish Voice for Peace has taken out paid ads to spread our word in times of great emergency. We have also created posters to spread our message on bulletin boards, in car windows, and at protests and vigils.  Below you'll also find fact sheets and booklets about important topics like the Nakba, JVP, divestment and companies like Caterpillar and Elbit that profit from the occupation. We also have materials for alternative Jewish rituals. Just click on the image to download.
