Grief and Hope: Bereaved Israeli & Palestinian Families for Peace

Grief and Hope: Bereaved Israeli and Palestinian Families for Peace
Tuesday, Oct 24, 7:30pm
Congregation Etz Chayim, 4161 Alma St., Palo Alto

In-person Only

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED - CLICK HERE

Bereaved mothers, Laila Al-Sheikh and Robi Damelin, from The Parents Circle-Families Forum will share their stories of loss and their extraordinary choice for reconciliation rather than revenge. Learn how they are working on the ground not only for peace but for the future of Israel's democracy and Palestinian freedom.

The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict. Their highest goal is to work toward the day when no new family must join the circle of the bereaved.

It has always been central to the Parents Circle’s work that grief can lead us to hope, as well as to determination to find a way to stop the killing and the dying.

Now more than ever, it is more important to stay committed to our values, and to affirm hope and possibility even in the midst of powerful grief.
