The Abrahamic Reunion produced a video featuring Elias Jabbour’s sage advice, life stories, and wisdom for our tribute event to Elias, one of the AR’s co-founders, and renowned Sulha (Palestinian Traditional Peacemaking) Practitioner and Expert.
Footage is from Abrahamic Reunion peacebuilding trips in 2017 and 2018 to the House of Hope, and a visit that David Less and Sheikh Ghassan Manasra paid to Elias’ home in 2016.
We hope by watching this video that you’ll get some of the guidance and wisdom that Elias always provided peacebuilders and anyone interested in peace.
If you have stories, videos, or photos of Elias to share, we will be making a more complete documentary of Elias’ life, please contact chris@abrahamicreunion.org.
