Weavers & Healers

Israel, Hamas, and the Ancient Wound

Rabbi Tsvi Bar-David and I discuss what's in our hearts about the current tragedy in the Middle East.  We discussed ancient wounds, ancestral healing, and how to support those who are helping. For a bio of Rabbi Tsvi see the previous podcast with him. :)
 
Prayer Vigil for Israel/Palestine from Daniel Foor as mentioned in the podcast.
Links are below to groups who have been working on this healing for many years and through much suffering.

So many people have been doing the hard work of "waging peace" in the Middle East. Some of those are:

  • Women Wage Peace (Israel)
  • Women of the Sun (Palestine)
  • Parents Circle (parents from Israel and Palestine who have lost beloved children to violence)
  • KnowHope Studios. This Is Limbo--a young Isaeli qigong friend of mine who is an artist in Tel Aviv has been using his art as a way of bringing people together, telling their stories, working for peace. Addam's artwork is the art on this page.
  •  Wounded Israeli soldier playing music with his Arab surgeon in hospital, as referred to in the podcast.
