Justice and peace form the basis of the vision of the international Sabeel movement; however, we feel that, under the present circumstances, we are further away from both justice and peace these days than we have ever been. All efforts to reach a relative justice whereby both Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace, sharing one Holy Land, have failed. 

However, we continue to believe that now, more than ever, the work of Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) is incredibly relevant and deeply important. We should not despair, despite all the challenges and feelings of hopelessness. 

So we appeal to you from the land of the resurrection, our dear friends, to reach out and support the work of FOSNA during this Lenten and Easter season, so that we can continue to work together to serve the cause of justice and peace in Palestine and Israel, the land of the Holy One.

Many blessings,
