CURRENT PEACE ACTIVITIES
Focused on our vision, we are currently operating in our temporary home near the designated future site
of Ehvam, as well as in other locations throughout Israel. With the goal of promoting Lama Dvora’s vision
for peace, we create opportunities for harmonious exchange and collaboration among people of different
ethnic backgrounds and spiritual traditions, and activities that bring together Israeli Jews and Arabs, and
Palestinians. We meet for dialogue, joint social and spiritual activities and other projects, at the Arava
Spiritual Center (MOAR), Jaffa and Jerusalem. Thus we celebrate our common, deep wish for peace
and happiness. As an example, we have held joint teachings of Lama Dvora and Arab peace leaders,
have visited an Al Aqsa sheikh for Ramadan, have celebrated the Sufi ritual of Ziker, and organized a trip
for Palestinian families and children to the Mediterranean beach, to which they normally have no access.
