To make peace in the Holy Land’s complex mixture of culture, history, politics, and religion, each peacemaker must navigate many nuances and subtle complexities every day to do the work of building bridges of hope, trust, and connection.

• How did these men and women find themselves called to this work?
• How do they avoid polarization in daily life amidst such a landscape?
• How do these peacemakers view and speak to current and historical events in ways that build community?

Join us for three special programs where you’ll get to hear the personal stories and perspectives of Ordained, Female, and Youth Peacemakers of the Holy Land – Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Samaritan, and Druze – interviewed and hosted by Sheikh Ghassan Manasra and the Abrahamic Reunion.

More information to be announced soon.

Sajedah Akram

Muslim youth peacebuilder from East Jerusalem who is the head volunteer for the Abrahamic Reunion in Israel.  She is a physiotherapist and believes in diversity, exploring and knowing new and different cultures, and is passionate about exploration and adventure.

Dvir Warshovsky

My name is Dvir Warshavsky, and I’m 25 years old.  I live in the Negev desert, in a small town called Yeruham. In recent years, I have been active in promoting cooperation between Jews and Muslims, especially between the Bedouin communities and the Jews of the Negev. I am also a student for MA government in IDC Herzliya, and I hope to make an impact in the field of coexistence in the Negev.I believe that peace is the most complex issue I can imagine, but also the simplest thing in the world. A place where there is peace, seems to me like a person who has woken from a deep sleep.
