Bringing the conversation to a close, Rabbi Felicia Sol reiterates our communal commitment to raising up the voices of those on both sides who are advocating for peace.

Amidst the backdrop of the ongoing war in Gaza, our recent event "Shared Grief, Shared Hope" stands as a testament to the power of empathy and the human spirit's capacity for reconciliation. This event, held on February 3 at BJ, brought together bereaved Israelis and Palestinians in a poignant dialogue about loss, hope, and the unwavering belief in peace as the only solution.

A powerful conversation with May Pundak and Dr. Rula Hardal, the inspirational Israeli and Palestinian co-executive directors of the rapidly growing “A Land for All” peace movement.

At this time of grief, anger, pain, and despair, May and Rula share their vision and discuss the compelling and practical solutions they offer for the thorniest sticking points in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

A Land for All brings together, under one roof, Israelis and Palestinians who recognize that two peoples share a deep connection to the exact same homeland, and that only a partnership-based approach can create a better future for all. Their movement’s creative “two states in one homeland” plan has been featured recently on CNN, in the New York Times, and elsewhere.

This event was co-sponsored by B'nai Jeshurun, New Israel Fund, and American Friends of A Land for All.
