A Book Signing & Lecture with Rabbi Michael Lerner
Location: Resource Center for Nonviolence NEW Building, Main Hall, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. 7:00p.m.
“Rabbi Michael Lerner provides us with a brilliant and hopeful vision of how to transform the Middle East from a cauldron of violence to a vanguard of peace. I hope every American will read this book and apply its lessons to change how we deal with the Middle East.” -President Jimmy Carter.
In “Embracing Israel/Palestine” Rabbi Michael Lerner challenges everyone, including Palestinians and Israelis who think they know the cause of the conflict to look deeper, even into their own psyches. More than that, he creates a real, living road map for peace where understanding our shared humanity and deep need for healing are core values for creating a future for the Holy Land so that it becomes a true light of peace amongst all nations.
