Wounded Healers: The Power of Listening

We are nearly on the one-year commemoration of the attack in Israel by Hamas. In that year, hostages have been murdered, a devastating war still rages and many hostages are yet to return. For the people of Gaza and for those Israelis in settlements, life is irrevocably changed. What healing can happen now and how do we in the United States and as Unitarian Universalists navigate this pain and history.
