Unity Prayer for the Holy Land
March 25, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
“The Prayer of Love”
With Siham Halabi, Umm Bra’a Najah Kabaha, Rabbi Doron Danino, Father Suhil Fachori, and Rev. David Grishaw Jones
Hosted by David Less & Sheikh Ghassan Manasra
March 25th, 12pm EDT, 5pm London, 7pm Israel Time
Please Register (for free) in advance Registration / RSVP
In response to this particularly difficult time, the Abrahamic Reunion will be drawing together—virtually—those women and men who have dedicated their lives to creating peace and understanding in their homeland.
Even when group prayer is virtual, people who pray together have a powerful effect. This is true not only for Israel and Palestine, but throughout the world. Communal prayer and meditation, with a focus on the common good, can create the shift in consciousness that we all seek.
At each Online Unity Prayer for the Holy Land, religious leaders and holy peacemakers in Israel and Palestine will join together on zoom and lead 45 minutes of prayer.
David Less, AR Board Chairman, and Sheikh Ghassan Manasra, AR International Director, will virtually host on-site Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Druze prayer leaders as well as one spiritual musician in the Holy Land.
Please join us. The addition of your prayer energy will help build the change we all seek.
Peace, Salaam, Shalom
