TalkMatters sends warm wishes to all celebrating Eid Al-Fitr. May this holiday bring you happy, healthy and peaceful times

TalkMatters makes us aware of the many Jews and Arabs who get to know each other and build up trust through a shared interest be it music, ecology, hi-tech, sport, education, religion, etc. We have just published our April 2024 newsletter talkmatters.info/updates/newsle…

Since October 7th the Leo Baeck in Haifa have engaged with more and more Arabs and Jews to build relationships.  Let us learn from their respect and compassion for one another. ❤️ #together

Let the Jerusalem Youth Choir be an example to us all. They raise their voices to push back against violence and sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality. #education #interfaith #israelpalestine

We will not forget the Jews and Arabs who are determined to work together for a better future. Our May 2024 newsletter is now online - please click the link below to read more #education #IsraelPalestine #Interfaith talkmatters.info/updates/newsle…

When having emotionally tense discussions it's easy to feel drowned out. If you're struggling to be heard or have some advice on how one can more effectively use their voice, please share in the comments. #IsraelPalestineDifficultQuestions #education #interfaith #empathy

Our July newsletter has good and bad news. Sadly a lot of bad news, but with the good news there is hope - and we must always focus on the hope. We're looking to expand TalkMatters, and we start this month's newsletter with an appeal for financial help talkmatters.info/updates/newsle…

The Jerusalem Youth Chorus continue to enable young Jews and Arabs to get to know each other, to listen to each other's story, to have fun together and to build up trust. We - Muslims and Jews - in the UK community could learn a lot from them #israelpalestine #interfaith
