"Hope is not found, it is made, together."

-Maoz Inon

During this polarized time in our world, there is no shortage of opinions but rarely do we have a voice that brings people together beyond the divide. Maoz Inon's message stands out amidst the cacophony.

Maoz experienced the profound loss of his parents on Oct. 7. During his period of mourning he decided the way to honor their legacy was not through vengeance but through an uncompromised commitment to peace. Since that pivotal moment, Maoz has traversed Israel and Europe reaching out to Palestinians who, like him, have experienced great loss. Through these encounters he has helped shape a new narrative and emerged as a leading international voice for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Maoz has been invited to speak at the 2024 Vancouver TED Talk Conference entitled 'The Brave and the Brilliant.' Rabbi Hannah and I are incredibly honored to have him come to Or Shalom for a very special engagement on Friday night April 19th. He will share his insights as part of our Shabbat Soul musical service and will stay after to respond to questions over tea in the social hall.

This event will be cosponsored by JSpace and our hope is that it helps to bring together disparate parts of the Jewish community in a shared effort to reclaim our core values of peace and compassion.
