No to Violence and Despair, Yes to Dialogue and Hope SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR TEENS AND THEIR FAMILIES (5TH GRADE & UP) (ALL CONGREGANTS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN) Sunday, January 23, 2022 12:00 PM   The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families. Join us as we hear from an Israeli and a Palestinian who tell their personal stories of bereavement and explain their choice and journey to engage in dialogue and reconciliation instead of revenge. The conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian societies has taken a heavy toll on each and every one of the PCFF members. Through this pain, the PCFF members have chosen to exchange their feelings of rage and revenge, helplessness, despair, and the void, with activities of hope for reconciliation. THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT BE POSTPONED. IF NEED BE, WE WILL ASK OUR FAMILIES TO ZOOM IN FROM HOME INSTEAD OF MEETING IN OUR BUILDING.

This program is sponsored by: The Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation (JJCF) of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County
