Lighting a Way
Towards Peace.

The Opportunity

Most peace efforts focus on dialogue. We address the deeper need.

Extremism thrives in desperation. When young Palestinians lack economic opportunity and dignity, they become vulnerable to extremist recruitment.

OrNoor tackles the root cause by working on three fronts simultaneously — combining grassroots economic development with consciousness transformation among American Jewish communities whose support shapes policy.

  • Transform American Jewish consciousness through immersive encounter
  • Create real economic opportunity and dignity for Palestinians
  • Demonstrate viable models of Jewish–Arab cooperation
Mission & Model

A dual-pillar approach to lasting peace.

Our Mission

Build sustainable peace between Jews and Arabs by creating Palestinian economic opportunity and dignity while transforming American Jewish consciousness.

01

Immersive Encounters for American Jews

7–10 day programs in welcoming GCC countries (UAE, Jordan, Oman) that shift attitudes and redirect political and philanthropic support toward sustainable peace.

02

Development Fund for Palestinian Opportunity

Israeli–Palestinian joint ventures in agritech, tech, renewables, and social enterprises — creating dignified jobs and shared economic stakes in stability.

Why OrNoor is Different

A direct counter to extremism, not an indirect one.

Conventional peace organizations work primarily through dialogue and advocacy. We work through dignity and opportunity — addressing the conditions that fuel conflict at their source.

Founder Edge

Rare credibility on all three sides.

Most who work in this space have credibility on one side. The mission requires fluency on three: Israeli, Palestinian, and the GCC capital that makes the new equation possible.

  • Studied in Israel as an undergraduate
    Deep understanding of Israeli society, history, and security concerns earned through immersion, not observation.
  • 4+ years at Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi
    Trusted relationships with Emirati leaders, investors, and business professionals — direct access to GCC capital and decision-making.
  • Active in UJA & ABANA
    Engaged in both American Jewish (UJA) and Arab banking (ABANA) communities — speaks the language of finance, development, and ROI.
Why Now

A narrow window — and a rare alignment of forces.

i.

Abraham Accords momentum

Unprecedented Israeli–GCC economic partnerships are forming. Palestinians have largely been excluded from the upside — this is the window to include them.

ii.

Youth unemployment crisis

Joblessness in Gaza and the Palestinian territories hovers near 50%. Economic opportunity is the most direct counter to extremist recruitment.

iii.

American Jewish inflection point

Younger generations are questioning inherited narratives and seeking frameworks that honor both Jewish identity and universal justice.

iv.

GCC capital seeks purpose

Sovereign and private capital from the Gulf is actively looking for constructive regional roles. OrNoor aligns perfectly with this strategic shift.
