Partnership Against the Odds: Can Israelis and Palestinians Create a Shared Story?
News coverage about Israelis, Palestinians, Jews and Arabs is filled with narratives of right versus wrong. What happens when instead of perpetuating a culture of blame, those on each side of the conflict challenge themselves to listen and build? Rabbi Shira Stutman moderates a conversation with those involved in unlikely partnerships, including Alon-Lee Green and Maisam Jaljuli of Standing Together, and Tawfik Abu-Wael and Joseph Cedar, two of the co-creators of the new HBO series “Our Boys.” This program was held on October 24, 2019. Standing Together’s visit is made possible through support from the New Israel Fund. This event is underwritten by an anonymous community member.
