SUMMARY:Roots: Establishing Dialogue Between Jews and Palestinians on the West Bank
DESCRIPTION:“At a time when both sides are convinced ‘there is no partner for peace\,’  we have found otherwise.” \n Please join Seattle Friends of Roots to meet Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger\, A founder of Roots and Shadi Abu Awwad\, Roots Palestinian Youth Director \nThey will share their stories and discuss their groundbreaking work in establishing dialogue between Jews and Palestinians on the West Bank. “We do not come with blueprinted peace plans in hand\, but with the deep conviction that human understanding and trust are the prerequisites for lasting justice\, freedom\, and peace in the land we both call home.” \nRoots is a local Palestinian-Israeli Initiative for understanding\, non-violence and transformation. It is a unique collaboration of Palestinians and Israelis building a grassroots model for coexistence. \nWebsite: www.friendsofroots.net \nRSVP and questions?  seattlefriendsofroots@gmail.com \nHanan Schlesinger is an Orthodox rabbi and teacher\, and a passionate Zionist settler who has been profoundly transformed by his friendship and interaction with local Palestinians.  His understanding of the reality of the Middle East conflict and of Zionism has been utterly complicated by the parallel universe that they have introduced him to. \nShadi Abu Awwad is the grandson\, son and nephew of strong proud Palestinian leaders who were at the helm of the First Palestinian Intifada.  He grew up imbued with a deep hatred for Israelis. When still a child\, his family underwent a major transformation and were among the pioneers in reaching across the divide to their Jewish neighbors to work together in order to create a shared vision for the future. As the Palestinian architect and coordinator of the Roots youth movement\, Shadi facilitates shared encounters and experiences among Palestinian and Israeli teenagers\, building a new generation of leaders who can confront the real problems between their communities while acknowledging each other’s shared humanity. \nJoin Shadi and Hanan as they tell their personal stories and of their efforts to build a better future for their peoples. They come with no ready peace plans in hand\, but only with the conviction that human understanding and trust will be the prerequisites for lasting justice\, freedom and peace on that tiny sliver of land that they both call home. \n
