We spent the morning in Hebron, afternoon at Tent of Nations, and early evening with George Sa’adeh and Rami Elhanan of the Bereaved Families Circle. Words fail. Maybe pictures will hint at today’s powerful experiences. Check out Pilgrims of Ibillin’s Facebook Page for more photos and caption-descriptions of a full, challenging, inspiring day: https://www.facebook.com/pilgrimsofibillin/.

Open Shuhada Street
Before 1994, this part of Shuhada Street housed shops selling fine gold and silver jewelry. Now filled with trash from settlers.
Checkpoint!

After a truly inspiring hour at the Tent of Nations, Jasmine and Daoud share a moment.
Capping an incredible day, we heard from George Sa’adeh and Rami Elhanan as they shared their painful stories of each losing a daughter to the violence of the Occupation, and of committing their lives to the hard work of peacemaking. Check out the Bereaved Families Circle, website and YouTube videos.
