An Interfaith Experience of Israel and Palestine
For Israelis and for Jews around the world, the 1948 War of Independence was a miracle—and a new beginning for a suffering people. For Palestinians, it turned out to be a catastrophe. Both narratives are authentic and paying attention to them is an ethical act. By listening with open hearts we become aware of the human dimensions of the conflict, the moral complexity, the pain and the possibilities. More: By listening, we become part of the story.
This journey offers opportunities to meet Israelis and Palestinians and to hear their stories, as well as to visit historic and contemporary sites in Israel and the West Bank that are important to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
