January 28 — Jewish and Palestinian Perspectives and Life Stories on Israel/Palestine
Christians, Jews, and Muslims call the land of Palestine their home, but today it is marked by violence and suffering. What can we, as faith-based people, do to engage more fully and shift consciousness toward anti-Zionism and Palestinian solidarity? How can we help liberate the Palestinian people and all marginalized peoples?
Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A on Jewish and Palestinian perspectives, featuring Burhan Ghanayem and Rinah Rachel Galper. Burhan Ghanayem was born and raised in occupied Palestine and is the chairman of the board of Voices for Justice in Palestine. Rinah Rachel Galper is twice-ordained as Jewish clergy and a member of Makom, a Durham-based queer and trans-led anti-Zionist spiritual community.
Menu: Hibachi Chicken or Tofu, Vegetables, Fried Rice, Salad Bar, Cookies
