Musalaha is a faith based organization that brings together Israelis and Palestinians. This blog is designated for the youth. We hope to enable their voice and have a platform for them to strengthen and expose them to the principles of reconciliation.

Youth follow up
This past weekend we had the pleasure of meeting at Talitha Kumi where 10 veteran Musalah youth hung out,
reminisced about Holland
talked about school,
played an original game (created by Shadia and Rikke),
kareoked,
and learned about our blindspots from the woman at the well.
John 4 is the story of a Samaritan woman who had an encounter with Jesus and learned about herself, through his revelation of her sin and his revolutionary, counter cultural,supernatural power of forgiveness.
Looking forward to seeing you all at camp, if not before!

Why Volunteer for Musalaha? Why NOT!
To volunteer or not to volunteer that is the question...
Musalaha like many non profit organizations is dependent on volunteers to impact the lives of so many people all over the world. Youth Leaders, camp counselors, office staff, and speakers give their time to spread the message of peace and reconciliation to the young and young at heart. We at Musalaha could use your help! If you are considering volunteering but need help with your decision making here is a list of pros and cons to help you with your decision:
PROS: CONS:
- already have two jobs + show potential employer you are responsible
- study, study, study! too busy with studies
+ build a network that will help you throughout life
- need to spend time with friends
+ Universities look highly on volunteer work in admissions decisions
- too much preparation time
+ improve personal skills such as empathy, listening, understanding, humility
- I don't know how to work with youth
+ expand your knowledge and view of the world
- I don't want to commit for a long time
+ improve your planning skills
- I need to focus on my career
+ create strong friendships built on common interest
+ invest in the future your community & country
+ show compassion for others
+ learn about yourself
And if that is not enough here are some great people through history who volunteered!
Mother Theresa, Mahtam Ghandia, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Los Angesles Laker Jordan Farmar, David Beckham, Messi, and Jesus
Even with all these benefits our primary motivation for volunteering should not be to help ourselves,we are who we are because someone gave of themselves for us, we therefore have the opportunity to contribute to building people who will lead the world of our children and theirs.
