Dear Friends,
Every summer, an amazing group of teens come to Houston from Israel for Peace Camp. These young leaders are Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, and despite countless differences, they all share one goal. They are all committed to building bridges towards peace.
Yesterday, I had the joy of spending the day with this amazing group, and I was inspired as I observed them listening and learning from each other (see photos below). Central to the work they are doing is a collective refusal to allow hatred and violence to squelch their hopes for peace.
These campers will be joining us this Friday night for Shabbat Services. They will share their experiences and maybe even sing a song for us. Please consider bringing friends to services as we seek to spread a message of hope. As a community we can learn about this groundbreaking camp and how it strives to build bridges of peace by planting seeds of trust and understanding in the next generation of leaders.
