T'was an honor being there with you. The most powerful part of Sulha for me, was being in a place where hundreds of people just plain old wanted to do good. And the composting toilets was certainly an extra green mile by Sulha organizers. As a religious person, though, I would have hoped for more of a religious showing. Panelists and organizers were mostly religious, but most of the crowd seemed to be secular people (justifiably) frustrated with religious separatism. Also- Do you know if Sulha was ever held on the other side of the Green Line? I'd imagine that a Palestinian would really have to want peace in order to travel through his handful of checkpoints en route to the Sulha site. (I wonder if I would have made the trip if my ride was such a tedious affair?) In any case, good coverage as always. Yannai Great piece James! T’was an honor being there with you.

Thanks for your article. Our Christian architect sent this to me. Our new synagogue will incorporate some green features, but perhaps of more interest is the fact that our contractor, who is contributing his services at cost to the project, is a Palestinian Muslim. Reconciliation is indeed beginning to take hold all over the world. May we continue to make progress to end our relatively short history of violence and reprise our long history of dwelling peacefully together. Yasher Koach!
