Learn with your heart, your mind, and your spirit.
There are so many words out there on the internet about Palestine and Israel, the current conflict, the historical context, and what is happening right this minute. There are stories and videos of sorrow, violence, and loss. And also stories and videos of people standing together across a divide, supporting one another, and refusing to be enemies.
I can’t share them all, but am posting items that have inspired or educated me over the last days and weeks. I welcome suggestions for more content through the contact page.
Peace. Shalom. Salam. Shlama.
