Dancing in Jerusalem

On Sunday evening, we had the amazing privilege of experiencing the music and energy of Wasat El Tarik, a band of 2 Arabs and 2 Jews making beautiful, spirited music together. To learn more about the band, you can click here! Clearly, the band MOVED our group!

Who We Are

In October 2014, we'll travel together to Israel and Palestine - a rather uncommon pilgrimage by an uncommon delegation. We'll come together--out of several different religious communities. Some will be Roman Catholic, some will be Protestant, some Unitarian, others Jewish.

Most of us call California home. We share a hunger for spiritual depth and growth; a passion for peace; and a desire to learn together.

Some of us have worked, for decades, to advance the cause of peace in Palestine and Israel. Others come more recently to this conversation and are still looking for clarity and insight. All of us recognize this critical point in history; peace is not just a dream, but a necessity.

Enjoy this blog--just one way for us to share reflections and pictures from the journey!
