This Event is at capacity. Parents Circle will be presenting tomorrow evening at the SFJCC.

Bereaved mothers Laila Al-Sheikh and Robi Damelin, from The Parents Circle - Families Forum, will share their stories of loss and their extraordinary choice for reconciliation rather than revenge. Learn how they are working on the ground not only for peace but for the future of Israel's democracy and Palestinian freedom.

The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict. It has always been central to the Parents Circle’s work that grief can lead us to hope, as well as to determination to find a way to stop the killing and the dying. Even in our raw state, it is more important than ever to stay committed to our values and to affirm hope and possibility even in the midst of powerful grief.

This program is in-person only.

This is a program of the Adult Learning Committee at Congregation Etz Chayim.
