What it reported doing in 2024

Abrahamic reunion inc. 2024 programs summary: abrahamic reunion held 57 online and in-person peacebuilding events in 2024 that reached over 6,068 participants amidst the escalated conflict in israel and the palestinian territories. Programs continued key events and some leadership training programs for youth, women, and a group of educators and clergy. Youth peacebuilder trainings palestinian & israeli youth met twice in 2024 with abrahamic reunion leaders and clergy for interfaith dialogue and discussion on multiple topics. This program was able to meet across the israel-west bank border by using zoom, and some of the cohort of participants in this program continued to take part in ongoing young peacebuilder training discussions, which had its first meeting in october, 2022. Youth were called upon to volunteer for the abrahamic reunion's in-person events including the iftar dinner and tel aviv music night, and attended an overnight program to mt. Grizim, hosted by the samaritan community in the west bank. Women's peacebuilding trainings women are one of the most powerful populations when building peace, notable for their community, family, and educational influence and leadership. Abrahamic reunion continued to keep connection with women who are educators, professors, and community leaders. This program met 2 times in 2024, largely on hiatus during the war. The program is planned to continue, and is headed by abrahamic reunion amutah co-chairs who are, respectively, a sufi-muslim woman, and a jewish woman. Multifaith ramadan iftar peace dinner celebration ("the light of faith & peace") since 2006, the abrahamic reunion has organized large gatherings at a breaking-of-the-fast dinner (iftar) in ramadan. In 2024 we held three major ramadan peace dinner (iftar) celebrations, which brought together over 240 people in jerusalem, in partnership with the shalom-hartman institute, for the second year in a row, 300+ in daliat al-carmel, in partnership with the druze community, and 80+ in nazareth, in partnership with christian and muslim organizations there. The event in jerusalem was livestreamed, including a text-study session, prayers and speeches by prominent religious and cultural leaders from the different faiths, the mayor of jerusalem, sheikh ghassan manasra, donniel hartman, david less, khalid abu ras, najah kabaha, siham halabi, and numerous others leaders and clergy from the holy land and the abrahamic reunion. Sacred music nights in neve schechter in partnership with neve schechter and ar collaborator rabbi roberto arbib, a night enjoying muslim, jewish, arabic, and sufi music and poetry was convened in tel aviv in september, 2024, and again for new years' eve, december 31st. These events brought together over 300 participants from all backgrounds to foster interconnection and community amidst violence that was rocking the country, and provided a bulwark of hope. Renowned jewish musician yair dalal, and sufi musician said abbassi, played together, individually, and with other musicians as part of these events, which also included prayer, public speeches by local religious leaders and the abrahamic reunion. Interfaith march in jerusalem & "believers" event at hartman institute for the second consecutive year, over 100 people came together to participate in an interfaith march and prayers through the old city of jerusalem, welcoming and promoting people of all faiths to walk together in peace, harmony, and connection. This came in the wake of numerous hostile and violent prejudicial events in jerusalem, and brought participation and speakers from over 50 nonprofits, religious and spiritual communities, and groups, who spoke of the need to honor each other's place in society. The event was followed by the "believers event" at the nearby shalom-hartman institute, organized by abrahamic reunion in partnership with hartman institute, featuring live jewish and arabic music, speeches, prayers from different faith leaders for peace,
