Hope in a Time of Trauma

Join us for a powerful and timely conversation between Hamze Awawde, a Palestinian peace activist and conflict resolution expert, and Offir Gutelzon, an Israeli-American tech entrepreneur and political activist. Together, they will explore the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the pursuit of peace, and the work being done to create a shared future.

Hamze Awawde is a Palestinian peace activist and conflict resolution expert; he holds a master’s degree in Global Community Development from the Hebrew University. He has worked for many years to foster spaces for dialogue, break the cycle of bloodshed, and seek a shared future that enables both Israelis and Palestinians to fulfill their national aspirations.

Offir Gutelzon is an Israeli-American tech entrepreneur who has become a prominent figure in the Israeli and Jewish-American political landscape. A vocal critic of the judicial overhaul proposed by the current Israeli government, he founded the grassroots movement, UnXeptable, which has mobilized supporters in Israel and abroad to advocate for a democratic and just Israeli society.

The JCCSF is a co-sponsor of this event taking place at Sha’ar Zahav or online.
