Invitation to a Peace Walk

 

Neve-Shalom to Jerusalem

APRIL 20-27

 

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!   JOIN US!

 

We walk together.  We, Jews, Arabs and others, representing all walks of life, join together in peace and walk silently in one powerful line. Silence speaks.

 

As violence escalates in the middle east our spirits decline. Terror and bloodshed breed fear and anger which furthers daily violence.  We search for an antidote.

 

THE WALK is a wake up call.  For those of us who feel powerless to change the reality of violence, we now have a way!  The longest journey begins with one small step. We take many steps together as sons of Adam and Abraham.

As we walk, our hearts beat a common rhythm. Our smiles heal ancient wounds.

 

Is there an antidote to violence?  We think there is.
