Two Truths One Heart, Two Peoples One Land - a free zoom presentation by Friends of Roots

- Palestinian/Israeli initiative working on the ground amid conflict

Date and time: 8pm 31 July, 2024 AEST

Presenters: Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger and Noor Awad

Two Friends of Roots leaders – one Israeli and one Palestinian –will tell their personal stories, offering inspiring accounts of inner transformation because of face-to-face contact with the other side. This presentation addresses the narratives, identities and pathos of daily life within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, outlines the philosophy and the work of Roots itself, and will leave time for Q & A.

Note: the Zoom link will be provided to registered attendees on the morning of the presentation (31 July AEST)

This free presentation is initiated and funded by Ian Roberts and Bishop Philip Huggins. It is not assisted by any ‘side’ in the current conflict. It aims to foster a grassroots movement of understanding, non-violence and transformation among Israelis and Palestinians.

Note: Attendees will be asked to mute througout the Zoom, and all questions will be asked via the chat function. Roots will choose the questions to be answered and if some questions cannot be answered in the allotted time an additional zoom session may be scheduled.
