It Won’t Stop Until We Talk
A Parents Circle Family Forum Presentation
Sunday, October 23
Two families – one Jewish Israeli, one Palestinian Christian – have lost a close family member as a result of the prolonged conflict between their two nations. As part of this organization of over 600 families, George and Najwa Saadeh and Rami Elhanan, are committed to reconciliation and working together for peace.
George and Najwa Saadeh and Rami Elhanan will share their stories and their hopes for the future at two events in Madison. One presentation will be geared for the general public and one for University students.
- At 2:00 pm they will be speaking at First Unitarian Society Landmark Auditorium, 900 University Bay Drive [Map]. All are welcome!
- At 5:00 pm they will speak with students at an ecumenical worship service sponsored by The Crossing Campus Ministry, 1127 University Avenue [Map]. Visitors are always welcome to worship with the students. Following worship, students are invited to a light dinner along with a presentation and conversation about the work of The Parents Circle Family Forum from 7:00 – 8:00.
Free and open to the public. Donations accepted for Parents Circle.
