The Abrahamic Reunion is a group of 25 spiritual leaders of the four
main faiths in the Holy Land that find their roots in the prophet Abraham.
They host gatherings all over Israel to bring people of these faiths together
to share food and stories and get to know the "other." For many
who attend, it is the first time to break bread and speak heart to heart
with a Jew or an Arab as these communities do not normally connect. These
healthy interactions are brought back to the communities and soften peoples
images of each other.
The Abrahamic Reunion supports school visits where an entire Arab school
visits a Jewish school and vice-versa, and there is a plan to bring Arab
young people to Dachau and Auschwitz and Jewish young people to the destroyed
remains of Arab villages so all can see the evidence of past destruction.
There are programs that promote the importance of women in the peace process
and one Israeli Muslim member has started a women's peace education center
in an Israeli Arab town near Haifa.
A website will be posted shortly with more details.
