From Encounters Co-Founder Melissa Weintraub: This Yom Ha-Shoah, - TopicsExpress



          

From Encounters Co-Founder Melissa Weintraub: This Yom Ha-Shoah, thinking of several Palestinian partners of Encounter who five years ago began clandestinely bringing Palestinian activists to Auschwitz - spending 7 days eating nothing but a bowl of soup and morsel of bread and praying - to sow empathy and recognition for Jewish historical experience, anguish, and fear. May it become less taboo for each of our peoples to do the courageous, unpopular work of trying to climb inside the others skin- support serious investigation of the others narratives, suffering, and aspirations. May our peoples do the real work of memory - to re-imagine a future in the direction of our greatest hopes rather than our greatest fears.
