Past Events ICAHD Jeff Halper Speaking in San Anselmo
"Emerging Trends in the Struggle for Peace in Israel & Palestine" Dr. Jeff Halper has been a peace and human rights activist for more than three decades. Born in Minnesota in the United States, he participated in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 1960s. Halper immigrated to Israel in 1973 after attending rabbinical school and resisting military service in the Vietnam War. In Israel, Halper taught anthropology at Haifa and Ben-Gurion Universities. He is the author of Between Redemption and Revival: The Jewish Yishuv in Jerusalem in the Nineteenth Century. During his mandatory Israeli military service, he refused to bear arms or serve in the occupied Palestinian territories. In 1997, Halper co-founded the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions (ICAHD) to challenge and resist the Israeli policy of demolishing Palestinian homes.

"Repairing Israel/Palestine"
Esther Riley of NorCal Friends of Sabeel on Repairing Israel/Palestine Sixty-five years after its founding, Israel is well-established but feels unloved and insecure, while Palestinian hopes for freedom, self-determination, equality, and the exercise of their right of return remain unmet. We’ll examine the history and the occupation to determine what needs to be repaired and look at some innovative peace plans that might better meet the needs and wants of both peoples than conventional one-state and two-state solutions. We’ll also look at what we can do to hasten a true peace. There will be time for questions, answers, and brainstorming.

More about Director Lois PearlmanLois Pearlman has been doing theater since she was a teenager in Florida. In Sonoma County she has played many roles with local theater companies, including Daisy Werthan in "Driving Miss Daisy," one of her favorites, since she, too, is a Southern Jew.
