HOW DID WE MEET?

OUR STORY

We are often asked how a Jew and Palestinian came together to write a book and do this bridge-building work. As is often the case, those with similar values and commitment find each other. Raja was a participant in Jeff’s doctoral research dissertation that brought Toronto-area Jews and Palestinians together to listen and respond to each other’s narratives. This grew into our book and our ongoing collaboration, built on rich dialogue, common values, and mutual respect.
