SUMMARY:Young Peacebuilders of Palestine & Israel
DESCRIPTION:Building Bridges\, Dissolving Walls \n\nRegister (Free!) via Eventbrite\nCome hear from the next generation of multifaith peacebuilders in Palestine and Israel!\nFeaturing Live Music from Young Peacebuilders\, a short video from the Parliament Of Religions 2021 Young Peacebuilders Program\, Discussion\, and Q & A with the Young Peacebuilders.\nThese young women and men–Muslim\, Jewish\, Christian\, and Druze– have chosen to create heart-felt interreligious connections among themselves. Born into decades of conflict and a climate of growing division\, extremism\, and violence\, these young\, courageous\, and contemplative Muslim\, Jewish\, Christian\, and Druze men and women are choosing to create heart-felt interreligious connections amongst themselves. They believe in loving their neighbor (Christian Bible)\, that the purpose of human diversity is to “know one another” as human beings (Quran)\, and that if one life is saved it is as if all lives were saved (Talmud). They have spent the pandemic learning from the first generation of Abrahamic Reunion peacebuilders (cir. 2004) in multi-religious text studies and meetings online. \nBorn into decades of conflict and a climate of growing division\, extremism\, and violence\, these courageous and contemplative young men and women are choosing to create heart-felt interreligious connections with one another as human beings.  Without any political agenda\, these young Peacemakers visit each other’s holy spaces\, trade stories\, and connect the common threads between their religions and cultures to restore the Abrahamic roots that support understanding\, healing\, trust\, and a peaceful and balanced Palestinian-Israeli society. \nPlease join us for a panel presentation from these young leaders to hear why and how they continue to embrace each other and to wage peace. \nBIOS \nSHAHED BAGDADI \nShahed was born into a peace family and has been part of the interfaith movement since she was a baby. She lives in Nazareth\, Israel\, and is 20 years old. She is one of the young leaders of the interfaith movement in the Holy Land\, and has participated in Abrahamic Reunion Young Peacebuilders trainings\, peace activities\, summits\, workshops and events. \nHANAN HALABI \nHanan is 19 years old\, from Daliat-Al Carmel in the North of Israel\, and a member of the Druze faith community. She is one of the young leaders of the interfaith movement in the Holy Land\, and she began walking this way of peace in high school. She is part of Abrahamic Reunion peace activities. \n. \nMALKON MARIZIAN  \nIs an Armenian Christian youth peacebuilder from East Jerusalem\, who helps the AR as a translator for many events\, and is a longtime participant in the Abrahamic Reunion. Studied for an MSc in Human Rights from London School of Economics and Political Sciences\, and has worked in projects helping Palestinian and Syrian refugees.  \nDVIR WARSHOVSKY  \nMy name is Dvir Warshovsky\, and I’m 25 years old. I live in the Negev desert\, in a small town called Yeruham. In recent years\, I have been active in promoting cooperation between Jews and Muslims\, especially between the Bedouin communities and the Jews of the Negev. I am also a student for MA government in IDC Herzliya\, and I hope to make an impact in the field of coexistence in the Negev.I believe that peace is the most complex issue I can imagine\, but also the simplest thing in the world. A place where there is peace\, seems to me like a person who has woken from a deep sleep.  \nABED MANASRA\, AR Israeli Director \nSheikh Abed Alsalam Manasra is the son of Sheikh Ghassan Manasra. He is an ordained Sheikh in the Tariqat Qadriyya As-Salaam (Qadiri Sufi Order Of Peace). He is a musician and works with young adults and youth to organize interfaith dialogue and gatherings in and around Nazareth. Abed@abrahamicreunion.org \nMOHAMAD JAMMOUS\, AR Palestinian Director \nMohamad Jamous is a young Peacemaker living in Jericho\, Palestine\, coordinating programs\, interfaith events\, peace journeys\, and intra-Palestine peacemaking events to build the movement for peace. He is one of the great emerging multi-faith peacemaking leaders in the Holy Land.

SUMMARY:Unity Prayer For The Holy Land
DESCRIPTION:With Sheikh Abukhalil Al-Tamimi\, Najah Kabaha\, and Siham Halabi\n\nHosted by David Less & Sheikh Ghassan Manasra\nWednesday July 29th\, 11am EDT\, 4pm London\, 6pm Israel Time\nPlease Register (for free) in advance Registration / RSVP\nDear Friends\,\nFor our upcoming Unity Prayers and Online Programs\, we are asking you to register for free. That way we can send you the zoom link before the event\, right to your email\, without having to send so many times to our whole email list. \nWe will also continue to offer Facebook Livestreaming of our programs via the AR’s Facebook Page \nTHE CALL FOR UNITY PRAYER\n The Holy Land is no stranger to all manner of suffering. In response to this particularly difficult  time\, the Abrahamic Reunion will be drawing together—virtually—those women and men who have dedicated their lives to creating peace and understanding in their homeland. \nEven when group prayer is virtual\, people who pray together have a powerful effect. This is true not only for Israel and Palestine\, but throughout the world. Many people think there will never be peace in the Holy Land\, just as many believe we will never have peace throughout the world.
