Planning for a project as dynamic as Seraj libraries has become as challenging for Seraj US as it is for our Palestinian partners. Automatic monthly donations make our job and theirs much easier. Please consider supporting the work of Seraj on a monthly or quarterly basis through your credit card. And thank you!
We welcome gifts of Stock or Securities. We have a Vanguard account to facilitate these transfers. Please contact our treasurer at Contact Us for details.

7. Consider a trip to Israel/Palestine. It’s a land both beautiful and troubled with histories and narratives we all need to understand better. Your life will be enriched by a trip. We’ll gladly consult, make recommendations for reliable tours and/or guides. Contact us to arrange a conversation. In recent years Seraj has Co-sponsored a trip led by one of our Board members, Dr. Paul Parker. Click here to see the brochure for Abraham's Children Searching of Justice in Israel & Palestine 2018.
