April, 2024: Zeitouna was featured on CBS Evening News. <\/strong>Watch now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May, 2024: CBS aired a longer version of their feature about Zeitouna.<\/strong> Watch now<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note on the May CBS story: We appreciate the time and effort put into producing this segment by Lisa Ling, Sarah Svoboda (producer) and CBS\u2019s Chicago-based film crew.  However it should be noted that our group was filmed in February 2024 and the external context has changed considerably in the past few months.<\/strong><\/em> We fully support the students’ rights to engage in free speech and protest, and we do not want what we have chosen to do within Zeitouna to be construed as being in opposition to or critical of their efforts. We all must do everything we are able to bring about the end to the suffering.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our time of such worldwide division, the women of Zeitouna in Ann Arbor, Michigan stand out as a model for working across the divide. Now celebrating twenty years together, this group of Palestinian and Jewish women is spreading its message of the power of relationships to create meaningful change. They are making a sequel to their first film<\/a>, in the hope of showing how Dialogue makes difficult conversations possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A message about the current crises in Israel\/Palestine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are heartbroken at the violence in Israel\/Palestine. We continue to meet and to support one another during this time of grief. Current and past Zeitouna members are speaking out for peace and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza by organizing events within our communities, protesting, advocating, lobbying our elected representatives, and donating to organizations that provide aid and promote peace and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of organizations that urgently need funds to provide help on the ground in both Israel and Palestine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
