We have organized a conference call for all participants and supporters of the Fast, on the day of the Fast, Thursday July 16 at 2 pm Eastern Time (See sign-up form below). This will be a time to share our experience of the fast, to discuss our plans and to learn together.
To participate, sign up using the form below.
We have invited Dr. Sara Roy, a senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University to teach us about the issues in Gaza and to answer questions. Trained as a political economist, Dr. Roy has worked in the Gaza Strip and West Bank since 1985 conducting research primarily on the economic, social and political development of the Gaza Strip and on U.S. foreign aid to the region. Dr. Roy has written extensively on the Palestinian economy, particularly in Gaza, and has documented its development over the last three decades. She is an expert on Gaza, a committed Jew and and has been an eloquent moral voice for justice for many years and during this crisis.
