How can we harness hope and hold onto humanity as the Israel-Palestine conflict intensifies global divisions? The Forgiveness Project’s founder, Marina Cantacuzino, will be in conversation with Bassam Aramin, a Palestinian and Rami Elhanan, an Israeli, whose lives were brought together by grief.
In 1997 Elhanan’s 13‑year-old daughter Smadar was killed by a suicide bomber. In 2007 Aramin’s 10-year-old daughter Abir was shot by an Israeli soldier. These two fathers who met who through the Parents Circle Families Forum (a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of 700 bereaved family members) are uniquely qualified to talk about these issues. Rami and Bassam are also the subjects of Colum McCann’s epic novel ‘Apeirogan’.
This online event is free so that everyone can attend. But, at a time when this work has become increasingly important, we also welcome donations. Proceeds from donations will be split between the Parents Circle Families Forum and The Forgiveness Project.
