We mourn the passing of Hilda Silverman, a steadfast activist working for peace with justice in Israel/Palestine. Starting with her work in the early 1980s in Philadelphia, Washington DC, and then Boston, Hilda used her courageous moral voice grounded in Jewish consciousness to champion the rights of oppressed peoples. She was a mentor, friend, and colleague to many of us and her loss will be felt for years to come. |

In
the fall of 1997, a group of Boston-area Jews felt compelled to
respond to the breakdown of the Middle East peace process.
Believing that the uncritical support of Israeli
policy voiced by established Jewish organizations did not
accurately reflect the feelings of many in our community, we
organized a peace forum in conjunction with the Boston events
celebrating Israel's 50th anniversary.
|
|
Presented
in collaboration with Israelis, Palestinians, Arab-Americans,
and others, the forum was attended by over 200 people. |
 |
The
group continued to meet, educating itself, and developing
programs that could be shared with the greater community. |

Visions of Peace with Justice in
Israel/Palestine
grew out of this effort. |
