Dear Friends of Peace,
The conflict in the Holy Land is breaking so many hearts right now, and no eye can be dry when aware of the level of pain, suffering, and destruction occurring in this sacred place.
It is incumbent on those who are in any way connected with the Abrahamic Reunion to use our most powerful force, which is praying together for peace and compassion.
We have continually affirmed that religions, coming together in the name of peace, are a most potent force in awakening us to our connection with each other.
It is time for us to unite and use the power of prayer to reawaken the sleeping consciousness of those who are calling for more pain and more destruction and ask them, through the power of peaceful prayer, to cease hostilities and affirm the relationship of all human beings in the family of humanity.
Towards that end we are initiating a prayer vigil every day to connect people of conscience with each other and magnetize the prayer for peace in unison with the will of God to create a truly holy and peaceful land.
We are all witnessing the powerful destruction and pain unleashed by human beings responding to emotional upheaval with violence.
The peace we are praying for is the power that can shift the balance in the Holy Land towards a gentle, humane, and just settlement amongst all aggrieved parties.
Please come and pray with us.

Thank you,

David Less

Interfaith Peace Concert in Tel Aviv
2024-10-09 | FL
Interfaith Peace Concert in Tel Aviv
Next month, on the 9th of October, we have a very important meeting in Tel Aviv, in Neve Schechter, with the Conservative Jewish groups. We will have all the people together – Muslims, Christians, Jews, and Druze. They will come together for a “Melody Meeting.”
We will have very professional people with us, to help heal the people, to help the people be very aware and very clean people, how to connect with “the other”.
We need to break the ice between the people because the fear stops them. The fear is the very hard barrier between the people. We need to break the ice and to bring them together.
This meeting will be spiritual songs, and singers, lecturers, psychologists, sociologists, cultural people, they will come together.

Revisit the Interfaith Music Event from September 2023, similar to the upcoming October event.
(Event Photos or Click on the Video)

From Sheikh Ghassan:
“The Program of the Melody: Smile, Listen, and Meet Again”
This will be a meeting to break the ice, because the situation is very difficult all the time. Professor Avi and Ghassan spoke with the people and convinced them come together after a big break in the connection. The problems are not only between the Arabs and the Jews – it’s between the Arabs inside the Arab Society, and the Jews within the Jewish Society.
Then we will bring these people together. We will use the spiritual melodies to move their inner sides for soften them, and soften their hearts, and after that, they will come to meet and talk, and remember that they know one another, they met before, and still they are together on the same land, area, land, the same tent, the tent of Abraham.
The leaders will talk and share prayers also, and give directions to the people about how to stay in connection after this meeting. This meeting will be the gate for the future, the gate for the Day After The War. This is the beginning of what will happen later, and how can we use ourselves as tools to stop the war, to try to stop the war. We know there is craziness in the air, in the field, but when we have some craziness we need to get our responsibility to heal the situation. The situation needs some healing, but we need to work with that. It’s not easy for all the people.
By the way Anat Lev Or, Sheikh Khalid Abu Ras, Rabbi Roberto Arbib, Siham Halabi (AR Israel Board Members) many will be with us – also many people who lost part of their families will be there, because they believe in peace, and they tried to create a different situation, not to go to the clash, the clash will not bring any peace, clash will bring clash, but peace will bring peace.
The event will cost the Abrahamic Reunion more than $5,000 just for our part (hard costs), Neve Schechter will cover part as cosponsor. To eat one shawarma sandwich today, in Tel Aviv, it will cost you $20. And we hope we will have 200 people with us, 50 people from East Jerusalem will be with us. I will fly to be part of this important event and others. We need your support.
Thank you, peace, salam, shalom.

FIELD NOTES: Peacebuilding During the War

Join us for some time with International Director, Ghassan Manasra, who was just in Israel during Ramadan for the three Multi-Faith Iftar Dinners, and Abd Manasra, Israeli Programs Director, who is currently in the Holy Land.

Last week, Abed told me that I “would not believe the price of bread here today – 1.2 Shekels for a single pita.” Conditions on the ground are precarious and fraught with danger, conflict between and within groups, daily protests, supersonic jets booming above.

Outside the direct conflict zones in Gaza and the northern border with Lebanon, preserving and maintaining the seeds of peace is difficult. The AR maintains connection however with numerous groups and individuals throughout Israeli and Palestinian societies, constantly providing support, connection, reminder of our ideals, and hope amidst chaos.

Join us for some time with Ghassan and Abed to hear about how the work is continuing, and what is planned.

Breaking the Fast together — bring dates & water

Breaking the Fast of Separation — Fasting
We invite you to join in fasting – for however long is right for you. Fasting is a sacred practice in the Abrahamic Faith traditions, which will be explored and discussed at our online program. In the Holy Land, the Ramadan fast is 14 hrs long, so, after dinner in the US, if you refrain from eating or drinking, and skip breakfast, you can break the fast with us having fasted about the same amount of time.

Ramadan Fast Times:

Jerusalem: 4:51am – 7:10pm (14hrs, 19min)
Sarasota: 6:07am – 7:52pm (13hrs, 45min)
14hrs prior to 12:10pm EDT = 10:10pm EDT.

What to bring: Dates & Water
Whether or not you are fasting, you are invited to bring water and dried dates for the symbolic breaking of the fast, together. Dates and water are commonly the first items consumed to break the fast in the Holy Land, providing much needed hydration, and a burst of sugars to reanimate the organs of the body.
Fasting is a way to be in connection with the Abrahamic connections to fasting, and to be in connection with those who don’t have enough food to eat, who are fasting because of famine, starvation, lack of aid, etc, as in Gaza and in many places around the world.
The practice of fasting is traditionally seen as a way of becoming closer to God, to the spirit, and further from materiality, corporeality. It is a practice seen in many traditions outside the Abrahamic Faiths as well, a a means of purification of body, mind, and heart.
(Muslims outside the Holy Land – we will be symbolically breaking the fast at the Iftar time in the Holy Land, so of course, we understand you won’t break fast with us together.)

Join Sheikh Ghassan Manasra, David Less, and the Abrahamic Reunion for a special peace event, as part of the Solstice of Peace, a global night of peace.

MEDITATION ~ CHANTING ~ PRAYER ~ CONTEMPLATION

The Solstice Peace Project is calling for events around the world during the Solstice, the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and shortest night in the Global South.
INFO: https://solsticepeace.org/
CONTACT: Chris@abrahamicreunion.org

Solstice Prayer Project

To celebrate peace on the Dec. 22, the Winter Solstice, the day that heralds the return of the light in the Northern Hemisphere. The project would use the solstice to prompt linked actions worldwide that encourage peace.
There is a heaviness touching the hearts of people worldwide. It not just the wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It’s because we are connected on so many different levels and feel each other’s distress deeply. This is why we can lighten the world’s burden by praying for peace and performing actions – both symbolic and substantial in their hopefulness – to promote peace. We can emphasize the power of peace by focusing on peace and amplifying its impact by coming together to call for peace.

The Roots

The Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is traditionally a time for welcoming back the light. Winter Solstice: honoring the Return of Light.
It is also a time of specific observances in various religious traditions, including Hannukah (Dec. 7-15 2023), Christmas (Dec. 25, 2023), Bodhi Day (Dec. 8, 2023) and Yalda Night (Dec. 20-21) in Iran and other parts of Central Asia.

Action Needed

These actions would focus only on peace, eschewing politics and the taking of sides.

1

To reach out to religious community leaders to ask for their support. To request religious leaders to encourage their congregations to hold services for peace on Dec. 22, 2023. As it is a Friday, mosques and synagogues will be holding services anyway. We would encourage the addition of a special Friday service for Christians and the holding of special services in Hindu and Buddhist temples and Sikh gurdwaras.

2

To invite communities worldwide to hold an event promoting peace on Dec. 22, the day that heralds the return of the light in the Northern Hemisphere. The event could take be in any form – a religious service, a concert, a reading, a moment of communal silence,

3

To encourage people to place a candle in their window to promote peace on the night of Dec. 21-21 as a symbol of the presence of peace and to encourage the promotion of peace.

The Goal

To ignite the light of peace in the hearts of participants and to encourage the spread of peace at a time of increasing conflict and violence.

Dear Friends of Peace,
The conflict in the Holy Land is breaking so many hearts right now, and no eye can be dry when aware of the level of pain, suffering, and destruction occurring in this sacred place.
It is incumbent on those who are in any way connected with the Abrahamic Reunion to use our most powerful force, which is praying together for peace and compassion.
We have continually affirmed that religions, coming together in the name of peace, are a most potent force in awakening us to our connection with each other.
It is time for us to unite and use the power of prayer to reawaken the sleeping consciousness of those who are calling for more pain and more destruction and ask them, through the power of peaceful prayer, to cease hostilities and affirm the relationship of all human beings in the family of humanity.
Towards that end we are initiating a prayer vigil every day to connect people of conscience with each other and magnetize the prayer for peace in unison with the will of God to create a truly holy and peaceful land.
We are all witnessing the powerful destruction and pain unleashed by human beings responding to emotional upheaval with violence.
The peace we are praying for is the power that can shift the balance in the Holy Land towards a gentle, humane, and just settlement amongst all aggrieved parties.
Please come and pray with us.

Thank you,

David Less
