Roots Tour

The Ashland Center for Nonviolence (ACN) at Ashland University is welcoming the “Roots Tour: Two Truths in One Heart, Two Peoples in One Land,” a grassroots movement that fosters understanding, nonviolence and transformation among Israelis and Palestinians, on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Trustees Room of the John C. Myers Convocation Center.

The “Roots Tour” features the speaking team of Khaled Abu Awwad and Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger. They will share the inspirational Roots message, as well as their personal stories of how they each came to a place of respect and understanding and an eventual partnership in 2014.

Abu Awwad and Schlesinger are two of the co-founders of Roots, a joint Palestinian-Israeli peacemaking initiative. Roots envisions a social and political reality that is founded on dignity, trust and mutual recognition and respect for both peoples’ historic belonging to the Holy Land.
