The Tree of Life Conference seeks to amplify voices of conscience-Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Druze-who are committed to finding justice and peace together in Israel and Palestine through education and non-violent action. All are concerned with a fundamental question: How can people of faith help make the Holy Land the holy place it could be? Representatives of different faiths will address that question, and consider: 1) the importance of faith traditions' emphasis on justice as essential to peace, 2) the importance of connectivity and solidarity between our communities here and communities in the Holy Land, and 3) the role in political advocacy of faith communities here in the U.S.
Conference presenters include Col. Ann Wright, speaker and performance by Martin John Nicols, George and Najwa Saadeh, Jane Hillal, Rebecca Vilkomerson, Dr. Taiseer Maray, Maya Wind, Sahar Vardi, Marian Saadeh, Allison McCracken, Zead Ramadan, Mark Braverman, David Wildman, Enas Massalha, Jeanne-Minette Cilliers, Mark Braverman, and others.
