Dear Friends,
In celebration of Ramadan and the Jewish New Year, 86 Israelis and Palestinians from Camp 2010 met in Jerusalem over the weekend for a joint Iftar/Rosh Hashana dinner.
Before sitting down to share the meal, the Seeds had the opportunity to worship in the Old City and engage in dialogue with each other about the holy city’s personal and religious significance.
In Cairo and Amman, Seeds organized Ramadan Iftars to benefit local charities, while Palestinian Seeds engaged in a clothing drive for families in need.
And in Pakistan, Seeds mobilized in response to the country’s devastating floods and are working with their Indian counterparts and Seeds around the world to raise funds for relief aid.
I could not be more proud of their efforts.
On behalf of our Seeds and staff, Eid Mubarak and Shana Tova!
Leslie Adelson Lewin
Executive Director
PS Please take advantage of an opportunity to help send more Seeds to Camp in 2011. Our exciting new partner Kiss My Face has issued a challenge via Facebook. For every 10,000 that pledge online, they’ll fund another “campership.”
Pledge by going to www.thepledgeforpeace.com. If you can, please share this with your friends on Facebook. We’re well over halfway to our first campership, but time is running out!
