The Abrahamic Reunion hosted its 17th Annual Multifaith Iftar Dinner in the Druze Community Center of Daliat al-Carmel, the Druze village in the North of Israel near Haifa.
Attended by over 220 peacebuilders of all the faiths – Jewish, Christian, Druze, and Muslim – from across the country, leaders offered speeches and prayers for inspiration and in commemoration of the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan. It was an occasion of beauty, blessings, friendship, generosity, good food and connection.
AR Peacebuilder Siham Halabi, who lives in Daliat al-Carmel, helped to organize and host along with the Druze Community. A busload of peacebuilders joined from Jerusalem, and notable speakers at the gathering included Druze Leader Sheikh Moafaq Tarif, the Mayor of Daliat al-Carmel, Rabbi Leora Ezrachi Vered, Siham Halabi, Druze Sheikh Yazan Farhad, AR Amutah Member Sheikh Khalid Abu Ras, AR Israeli Director Abed Manasra, Sheikh Ghassan Manasra and David Less (via pre-recorded Video), and many others.
