Roots/Shorashim/Judur:
Two Truths in One Heart; Two Peoples in One Land

Roots/Shorashim/Judur – an Israeli-Palestinian grassroots initiative for understanding, nonviolence, and transformation based in the West Bank - is a unique network of local Palestinians and Israelis who have come to see each other as the partners they both need to make changes to end their conflict. Based on mutual recognition of each People's national identity and connection to the Land, they are challenging the assumptions their communities hold about each other, building trust, and creating a new discourse around the conflict in their respective societies.

Khaled Abu Awwad and Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger, a Palestinian and an Israeli activist, will share the groundbreaking Roots message as well as their personal stories of transformation. The intent is for everyone to come away with is inspiration and hope, and a model of how to talk to people that they do not agree with.
