SUMMARY:Two Houston Quakers Visit Israel / Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Two Quakers have recently returned from an interfaith delegation to Palestine and Israel. They will share photos and stories from their experiences after staying with families\, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and non-governmental organizations and experiencing life on both sides of the separation barrier. \nCome and join us\, experience life today in the area and learn about the struggles and hopes for the region. \nTwo Quakers from Live Oak Friends Meeting in Houston went with an interfaith delegation to Palestine and Israel. They and twenty-eight other participants from the United States\, Canada and the UK had the unique opportunity to hear directly from Palestinians and Israelis regarding the role of the United States in the pursuit of a just peace. The US government is the most dominant international player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. \nBridget Lois Jensen is a second-generation Houstonian with a family history of service to the people of the city. Believing that Houston’s diversity is an asset only if the various communities develop relationships with one another\, she became involved in interfaith and cross-cultural activities with such organizations as Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston and the Center for the Healing of Racism. About her trip\, Ms. Jensen says\, “Though peace through political means has been elusive\, I witnessed a visceral hope in the people we met who are living in the midst of the conflict. I saw how their resiliency\, courage\, and commitment to preserving human dignity feed this hope and inspire individuals from various countries who accompany them. I too have been inspired and I want to share their stories and my experience so others will want to join this community of hope.” \nAlex McDonald is an entrepreneur and a Quaker committed to the American values of freedom and equality. Having been a student of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict for many years\, Mr. McDonald is grateful to have had the opportunity to see first-hand the implications of U.S. policies and to be able to separate fact from fiction in what we hear in the news. He thinks that the images from the trip will speak for themselves. \nBridget and Alex will share photos and stories from their experiences after staying with families\, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and non-governmental organizations and experiencing life on both sides of the separation barrier. \nCome and join us\, experience life today in the area and learn about the struggles and hopes for the region.

SUMMARY:Zikaron BaSalon - Memories in the Living Room
DESCRIPTION:Zikaron BaSalon is an annual event\, which takes place on Israeli Holocaust Memorial Day. Zikaron BaSalon started in Israel\, in a living room where a few friends gathered in 2010 and experienced an extraordinary and meaningful event. The idea was born from the understanding that the connection between us and the memories of the Holocaust\, has significantly deteriorated. Today\, the program operates in more than 50 countries around the world. \n  \nAlongside formal events\, Zikaron BaSalon offers a new\, meaningful and intimate way to commemorate this day and address its implications through discussions at home among family\, friends and guests. It is a unique and authentic tradition of people gathering together to open their hearts to the stories of the survivors\, sing\, think\, read\, talk and most importantly- listen. \n  \nZikaron BaSalon happens in the living room space of a home with 15-40 people. The event consists of three parts: testimony\, expression part and open discussion. Light refreshments will be served. \n  \nRead more at http://www.zikaronbasalon.org/ \n  \nJoin us for a meaningful evening of Zikaron BaSalon in Houston! \n​You will be notified closer to the event of your assigned location.
