AUBURN – Two speakers will discuss programs to create peace and a just society for all residents of Israel at 11 a.m. Sunday, March 26, at Temple Shalom.
“Here in America, we mostly see only negative news from Israel,” said Rabbi Hillel Katzir, spiritual leader of Temple Shalom. “These speakers will bring us up-to-date on many of the wonderful and exciting efforts that are under way to create a better life for everyone who lives there.”
The speakers are Tamar Miller, co-director of the New England regional office of the New Israel Fund and a consultant to Middle East social change and peace-building organizations, and Professor Yehezkel Landau, faculty associate in interfaith relations at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut. He was co-founder and co-director of Open House Center for Jewish-Arab Coexistence in Ramle, Israel.
Landau is also an author, former director of a religious Zionist peace movement in Israel, lectures internationally on Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations and coordinates an interfaith training program for Jews, Christians and Muslims called “Building Abrahamic Partnerships.”
The presentation is open to the general public at no charge, although a donation of $5 per person is welcomed.
For more information, contact Rabbi Hillel Katzir at Temple Shalom, 74 Bradman St., at 786-4201 or hillelkatzir@yahoo.com
