Musalaha is a non-profit organization that promotes and facilitates reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. For those who have a common faith, we advocate and facilitate reconciliation encounters among Israeli and Palestinian believers based on the life and teaching of Jesus. Within the wider community, we seek to impact our societies through building bridges among Muslims, Christians, and Jews according to Abrahamic moral principles contained in all three faiths.
“Regardless of the history we read, or the history we know from our own people and families, we must learn to listen to each other. We must hear each other’s pain. Our perception of what happened is often just as influential as the truth of what happened. Through listening to one another and hearing each other’s stories, we can minimize the gap between what we think and what we know.”
As we are approaching the most important holidays in our context here in Jerusalem, namely Passover for Jews, Easter for Christians and Ramadan for Muslims, we are questioning how we will celebrate these important occasions.
I am taken back to the days when the children were small and I used to dress up to go to the Supermarket or at least wear clean clothes…history repeating itself…
I had no idea at the time how right a friend was who gave me some advice as I left New Zealand to come here. He said, “To avoid becoming totally overwhelmed, try viewing the conflict through the relationships you form with those around you.” It’s true!
We would love to hear from you. Our internship programs in Research and Publications, Communications and Group Activities are always open for applications.
We also host groups for lectures in our office in Jerusalem. We invite people of all backgrounds to explore the dynamics of reconciliation among Palestinians and Israelis.
