This is Daoud. We say David. Daoud gave us a talk on and tour of Neve Shalom Wahat Al Salaam. It is an intentional community of Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis who decide to live in one village on equal terms, peacefully. This is a big big deal. Never been done.
It has gone on for 24 years. It is gaining attention & support, slowly. They educate their children & other nearby in 2 languages, Hebrew & Arabic, and observe three religions, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. This is a big deal. It could be a model community. I think we should pray for them.
On a personal note, I am doing fine. This is so my wife will know. Phone is not working. Now email is locked up. Life in Israel/Palestine is not without its hardships.
We have four days to go, all in Jerusalem. The holy city. Thursday we go to Haram Al Sharif, the Temple Mount. And Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Jesus was laid in the tomb. Should be quite a day. All doing fine.
Shalom & Salaam! - Steve P
