DESCRIPTION:6/7: Israel & Palestine - What Peace Could Look Like \nIsrael & Palestine - 
 What Peace Could Look Like \nSpeakers: Rabbi Jeremy Milgrom and Husam El 
 Nounou \n\nPlease join human rights activists, Rabbi Jeremy Milgrom, and 
 Husam El Nounou, who will discuss their efforts for a non-violent solution 
 to the Israel-Palestine conflict, focusing especially on their work with 
 The Rebuilding Alliance, a non-profit organization which seeks to rebuild 
 Palestinian homes demolished by Israel. They will also address particular 
 impacts on Palestinian women and their participation in rebuilding their 
 communities. \n\nRabbi Jeremy Milgrom, Jerusalem Peace Activist, is an 
 American-born rabbi who has lived in Israel since '68, involved in Israeli 
 peace camp initiatives for over 29 years. Rabbi Milgrom co-founded Clergy 
 for Peace and lectures in Israel and Europe on Judaism, non-violence, and 
 peace. Currently working with UNOCHA to save the Jahalin Bedouin villages 
 slated to be removed by the Israeli Separation Wall he witnessed the 
 anguish of countless Palestinian families as their homes were demolished by 
 Israeli bulldozers, and sees rebuilding as way to ameliorate the suffering 
 of innocent people and push for policy change. \n\nHusam El Nounou, Gaza 
 Peace Activist, Cofounder of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme 
 along with Dr. Eyad El Sarraj. Editor-in-chief of the bi-monthly magazine, 
 Amwaj, Mr. El Nounou represents GCMHP in the Palestinian Non-governmental 
 Organizations Network (PNGO) where he served as the first coordinator for 
 the Network Steering Committee. Fluent in English and his native Arabic, 
 traveled to the U.S. in 2000 as part of the "International Visitors 
 Programme" organized by the US State Department. Mr. El Nounou deeply 
 believes in peace and coexistence and sees this as a human rights issue, 
 one that ordinary people can impact. \n\nCost: Donation suggested $10-$25 
 Fundraiser for The Rebuilding Alliance \n\nSponsors: Bay Area Women in 
 Black, Kehilla Community Synagogue \n\nThe Rebuilding Alliance \nThe 
 Rebuilding Alliance, nonprofit organization, rebuilds homes and communities 
 in regions of war and occupation. We advocate for government policies 
 towards these regions based on human rights and international law. Through 
 a mutual commitment to justice, we create alliances among our supporters, 
 partners, and those who suffer injustice and violence, yet resist through 
 rebuilding. Our projects are symbols of hope that help rebuild shattered 
 communities and offer people around the world immediate ways to make peace, 
 starting with the tangible support of a family's right to a home. \n\nThe 
 Rebuilding Alliance is very proud to announce the opening of the first home 
 in the Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign in Gaza, a home for the 
 Palestinian family Rachel Corrie sought to protect. With your help, we will 
 rebuild many more. \n\nFor more information contact
