On Wednesday July 19, over fifty Jews and Arabs gathered at the Latrun monastery to plan the next 'On the Way to Sulha' gathering, scheduled for August 22-24. See www.sulha.com
The theme of this years gathering is: Therefore Choose Life! Ihab Balha, Muslim co-director of the Sulha Peace Project said: now is the time to live our values, not just when its easy... to have compassion for ourselves and the others who are suffering in this war, esp. people from Gaza, Haifa, Tsfat, Nahariya, Beirut.
It was announced that next Thursday, July 27 the Sulha Peace Project, Bereaved Families Forum, Middle Way and others are planning a major prayer vigil in a central public space in Jerusalem, inviting religious leaders and common people to pray together. They will bear witness to the pain of Israelis who have fled the north and read letters from friends in Gaza and Beirut about their situation.
Behind the scenes, Rabbi Menachem Froman has been a bridge for dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, seeking to bring about a cease-fire based on principles found in Islam and Judaism.
Shalom, Salaam,
