SHIUR Berlin Arab-Jewish Coexistence Shabbat with Gazan democracy activist Hamza Howidy

september 27, 2024 | Location TBA

Join us for an evening with Hamza and Micki, as Jews and Arabs come together at a unique Shabbat dinner discourse. Jews and Arabs are undergoing an unforeseen transformation in self-conception– both in relation to the world as well as reconceiving fundamental questions of Jewish, Israeli & Palestinian consciousness.

Sustainable connections emerge when people come together over a vision rooted on shared values and a partnered future. Part of this process of reconfiguration involves reflection and engagement with ourselves & our literary, philosophical & cultural heritage –and seeking out a new language and worldview that is contemporary to our times and needs.

Hamza is an activist from Gaza, who was jailed by Hamas for his activism for a democratic and secular Palestine, who now is bravely fighting for peace with Israel and a Gaza free from Hamas.
