Temple Habonim in Barrington hosted a forum recently, featuring an Israeli Arab and Israeli Jew discussing their people-to-people efforts to defuse Arab-Jewish tensions. They also discussed progress being made.
Mayor Issa Jaber Abu Gosh of the Arab town of Abu Gosh is seen here on the left, along with Rabbi Ron Kronish, who lives in Jerusalem but grew up in Miami Beach and is an Israeli-American dual citizen.
Neither speaker sugar-coated the challenges but both expressed optimism that in the long run peace will prevail. The rabbi is founder of the Interreligious Coordinating Council In Israel, which includes Jewish, Muslim and Christian organizations and institutions.
