Peacemakers from the Abrahamic Reunion attended the fourth annual ‘Jerusalem Hug’ event on June 21st, 2010. It brought together hundreds of Israelis, Palestinians and international supporters to unite the ‘lovers of Jerusalem’. Two separate groups started with circles at Jaffa Gate, and ‘shuk il-Falahin’ above Damascus Gate. Everyone then met together for a prayer gathering at Damascus Gate and closed with a drum circle at ‘Kikar Tzahal’, the area at the top of the Old City.
