Thirty-four participants, known as “Forgiveness Ambassadors,” were selected for two training programs hosted at Zefat Academic College. Participants chosen were both personally interested in applying forgiveness to their lives, as well as professionally sharing knowledge about forgiveness in ways that best fit the needs of their communities. Each six-week program included weekly three-hour sessions, totaling 18 hours of education. The curriculum combined theory and practice, blending psychological research with Jewish sources.

Sessions encouraged reflection on personal experiences as well as strategies for introducing forgiveness education into spiritual, educational, and therapeutic contexts. According to project director Dr. Ben Yair, “What makes this project unique is how successfully it bridges rigorous forgiveness science with authentic Jewish wisdom.”
