Where: Stanford Memorial Church

Stanford, CA 94305
Description: Join us for a human centered evening of listening and reflection. Hear the deeply personal stories of loss from two Israeli and Palestinian members of the PCCF and their courageous decision to work together to prevent further bereavement, to create dialogue, reconciliation and peace.
The Parents Circle - Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 800 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict.
PCFF established in 1995 models constructive dialogue around shared values. Even since October 7th, 2023, its staff, members, and thousands of participants are still committed to peace and a way forward that centers empathy and humanization. Motivated by the profound depth of their pain, the PCFF members have committed to do everything they can to work towards reconciliation and peace. This conversation brings our attention to the values that Palestinians and Israelis can agree upon even in the darkest of times.
