One Human Family: Interfaith Solidarity with Palestine With Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Rev. Deborah Lee, Pir Zia Inayat Khan, facilitated by Maurizio & Zaya Benazzo
Their clarion call for peace with justice in Palestine stands as an inspiration for us all to embody the highest ethical and moral principles of our diverse spiritual traditions. ‘Where Olive Trees Weep’ is a poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. It features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons. The program expands on the themes explored in the film and provides a larger historical and social context. Access to the program and the film is by donation.
