A group of Arabs and Jews gathered for a special writing evening, which transformed into a warm and intimate space filled with dialogue and expression, despite the cold and rainy weather in Jerusalem.
This evening, we met for a collaborative writing session facilitated by Hannah Rosenblatt, that brought together people from diverse backgrounds, aiming to create a safe and open space for writing, sharing, and getting to know one another. The event was sponsored by the Interfaith Encounter Association and hosted by the Swedish Theological Institute in Jerusalem.
In this space, we gave ourselves the freedom to follow our thoughts wherever they led us, and then shared our reflections and personal experiences with the group. During the encounter, we moved between various topics; from childhood winter memories and foods that have remained etched in our minds, to how we make decisions and shape our life paths. With each contribution, the sense of openness and trust among the participants deepened.
The encounter was more than just writing; it was a genuine human space for presence and listening, a reminder of the beauty of connection and the importance of building a supportive community and connecting people despite their differences.
