ONE CONVERSATION, TWO IDENTITIES, FOUR FAITHS: REVISIT GAZA’S HEARTBREAK

An interfaith dialogue in a new book launch tells Gaza’s story and the humanity of people there through an unlikely friendship. Instead of focusing only on politics or headlines, it brings readers into the personal, everyday experiences of people trying to live, serve, and create meaning under extraordinary hardship. Through dialogue, poetry, and open questions about faith, the two authors bridge their different two identities, American and Palestinian, and four faiths of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baháʼí Faith and show how connection and compassion can endure even in times of war.
