The Gabriel Safdie Event: Jerusalem of the Mind—The Groundwork for the Day After
How do we continue living through endless conflict in the Middle East? How do we lay the groundwork for the day after? What role do we have as writers, poets, storytellers and journalists in the arduous and grassroots task of dialogue toward peace building? We must first explore ways toward building empathy among enemies.
