The Cornerstone
Building Peace In The Holy Land, Heart By Heart

|
Dear Friends around the World,
The Holy Month of Ramadan begins on April 2nd! And is joined by Easter and Passover, mid-month -- all the Abrahamic Faiths will be in celebration, and the Abrahamic Reunion is busily preparing four (4!) multifaith Iftar dinners! We need your help to make them happen.
In light of the recent wave of violence, the upcoming Prayer of Protection on April 13th is especially prescient. Mohamad Jamous brings inspiration with his blog One Way, and we remember the contribution of Sana Albaz, an original Co-Founder of the Abrahamic Reunion and Bedouin leader and educator.
Peace ~ Salaam ~ Shalom,
Chris Miller

Help the Abrahamic Reunion raise $30,000 to host Four In-Person Iftar Celebrations in the Holy Land |
The Abrahamic Reunion will host Iftar Dinners in Tel Aviv, Jericho, Daliat al-Carmel, and Nazareth.
It's such an important time to bring people together -- in the face of a wave of violence -- and during a month of shared religious holidays: Passover, Easter, & Ramadan all overlap this month!

3-Minute Message from David Less |
"We have people of the different faiths really desiring to be together, and we need help, we need your help financially, and we need support with prayer and with good feelings, especially during this time when there is real conflict on the planet.
Can we do something? Of course we can. Peace is possible, but we need to take the steps."

In the dark hours of the evening, at ten at night, I left my family home in Jericho, heading back to my home in Ramallah. I was very tired that day. I had spent the whole day helping my father, who underwent surgery...
