  honest dialogue and thoughtful exchange\, this evening invites us to list
 en deeply\, sit with complexity\, and imagine what peace might look like w
 hen it is grounded in relationship and shared humanity.\n\nThis program of
 fers space not for slogans or debate\, but for reflection\, learning\, and
  the possibility of understanding across differences.\n\nRegister to join 
 us onsite on Monday\, April 27 at 7:00 p.m. Contact cajl@tisrael.org with
