The Chain | August 2022 25 BUILDING PEACE IN A FRACTURED LAND by Orly Halpern During a meeting of about 50 teenagers in Israel’s western Galilee region, students were grouped in pairs and asked to identify how they were similar and different. Although half of them were Jewish and half were Arab, none of them mentioned that seemingly obvious distinction. When asked why, they told a moderator, “We are all human.” The meeting, involving students from four schools in Jerusalem and the western Galilee, was part of a peace education program designed and led by Arik Gutler Ofir, a former Rotary Peace Fellow. It was supported by a 2016 Rotary Foundation global grant and implemented by the Rotary Club of Jerusalem, just one of the club’s many peacebuilding initiatives. The students stayed at each other’s homes and learned about each other’s food, music, and cultures. The project was so successful that when the grant money ran out, a local education board integrated the initiative — which had been co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mönchengladbach, Germany, and supported by Rotary clubs and districts in Australia, Germany, and the United States — into the civics curriculum. “When you bring children from both sides to get to know each other, you create a situation where the other is not an enemy,” says Dan Shanit, a former medical clinician, researcher, and program developer who has served as the Jerusalem club’s president twice, most recently in 2021-22. “Enemies are anonymous. They don’t have a face. What you want is to know the face.” Since its beginning, the Rotary Club of Jerusalem has focused on peace. The club was chartered in 1929 during a period when the region, including the future state of Israel and what would become the occupied Palestinian territories in Gaza and the West Bank, was under British colonial rule. Most of the charter members were from the city’s British elite. Today, the club continues to hold meetings in English. For decades, its members have met at the Jerusalem International YMCA. With its elegant arches, domes, and tower, the building is a city landmark and a place for finding common ground. Arab and Jewish members were quick to join and within five years, the club had its first non-British president, D.G. Salameh, an Arab who had been vice mayor of Jerusalem. The following year Leon Roth, a Jewish professor of philosophy, became president.

The fighting and humanitarian aid for Palestinian split the city between Israeli and Arab control, with children. “It’s our specialty,” says Dan Arabs to the east and Jews to the west and barriers Shanit, past club president and a former between them. The YMCA was on the Israeli side of deputy director general and medical the city. director of the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation. “I hope it continues to “When the war ended, Jerusalem was divided,” be.” Shanit has this advice for clubs in Shanit says. “Most of the Arab members had lived in places of conflict that are looking to the wealthy neighborhoods in the west side of the make an impact in peacebuilding: city and were expelled or fled.” As a result, the club lost its Arab members. • Partner with health care organizations to provide medical help to people on War returned in 1967 when Israel attacked the other side of the conflict.

He felt welcomed and became both president of the club (in 1987-88) and the director general of the YMCA, an oasis amid the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. “Outside there was anger and inside there was peace,” he recalls. “We kept the YMCA and the Rotary club above politics, so that Jews, Christians, and Muslims could all stand on equal footing. That’s what Rotary is about.” But it wasn’t easy.

The Chain | August 2022 03 Members of the Rotary Club of Jerusalem, including (from left) Carry Polak, Louis Polak, Dan Shanit, Ruth Harris, and David Seligman, promote peace through their projects, with a particular focus on bringing together Jewish and Arab youth. Photograph: Yadid Levy “The hardest job of the club was being the program director,” says Abusharr, who remained a member until moving to California and joining the Rotary Club of Claremont in 2007. “You had to find a speaker who didn’t speak about something divisive. We were living Rotary’s Four-Way Test as much as humanly possible.” For many years the YMCA has been home to what it calls a “peace kindergarten,” where it teaches Israeli and Palestinian children about each other’s holidays in both Hebrew and Arabic. The Jerusalem club became a key supporter of the school, providing scholarships to the children’s families and building a playground on the roof. Amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the club currently has no Palestinians among its 22 members, but it remains international, reflecting the presence of nongovernmental organizations and other global institutions in the region to address conflict. In addition to native-born Israelis, the club has American, Dutch, German, and Nigerian members. One member joins meetings online from her home in Hawaii. And the club’s focus remains peace. In recent years, it has implemented its peace education initiative for Jewish and Arab youth as well as a project that provided medical assistance to Palestinians. With the help of a global grant, the club arranged for Palestinian children with congenital heart problems to receive heart surgery at a hospital in Jerusalem. This year, the club participated in a project that provides training in advanced trauma life support to Palestinian and Israeli surgeons at Israeli hospitals. The initiative, which is supported by a global grant, is a partnership with Project Rozana, which helps ill Palestinian children and trains Palestinian health care professionals. The grant is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Holon, Israel, and the Rotary E-Club of District 7610, Virginia, and is supported by other clubs in Israel, Australia, Canada, and the United States. The latest Jerusalem club initiative is a traveling theater show by five Jewish and five Arab actors who perform at schools and in the street, in both languages. A sister club, Wiesbaden-Kochbrunnen in Germany, supported the effort by raising money. “Theater is the perfect platform through which you can convey a message about how to deal with the conflict,” says Shanit.
