Let’s close 2024 with prayers, songs, reflections, and setting the intention for peace in 2025 by coming together with the Peacemakers of the Abrahamic Reunion for an hour of New Beginnings.
Join us to remember our vision of the future of a Holy Land shared by all. Peacemakers will be gathering in Tel Aviv for a New Years’ Event and we hope to have photos and stories to share.
All Welcome! Featuring Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Druze Prayers, Songs, Music, Reflection, & More
ABOUT THE ABRAHAMIC REUNION’S UNITY PRAYERS FOR THE HOLY LAND:
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 peacebuilders in Israel and Palestine will join together on zoom and lead 45-60 minutes of prayer, reflection, and contemplation.
David Less, AR Board Chairman, and Sheikh Ghassan Manasra, AR International Director, will Zoom-host 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
