The Holy and the Broken

When dehumanisation and destruction become the norm, the cycle must be broken.

Following decades of dialogue facilitation between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay believes that enemies of today can be the partners of the future.

The Holy and the Broken challenges Palestinian and Israeli leaders, citizens, and their supporters worldwide to imagine a different reality in a book that will comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable.
