prayers for peace alliance philadelphia

As Jews and as Palestinians, we understand our common stake in building a shared future for our peoples based upon peace, justice, and equal rights. The atrocities of and since October 7th have proven once and for all the us-versus-them paradigm is disastrous for Palestinians and Jews alike. We seek an end to the current genocidal assault on Gaza and the long-term de-escalation of violence, an end to Israeli occupation and apartheid, and an ideological shift away from ethnic supremacy. We draw on our Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions of nonviolence as we call for equality, justice, and peace for all people in the Holy Land.
