Engaged Dharma in Israel-Palestine

Natalie Goldberg introduces an extraordinary Wednesday night Dharma talk, in which human rights activist Aviv Tatarsky calls in from Jerusalem to offer his candid view into the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Aviv discloses how his beliefs and views have shifted as he witnesses the ongoing violence and hatred in the region. He reflects on the koan of engaging in conflict, which is either to engage and become entangled within violence, or to reject violence which often reveals itself as disengaged or passive. Aviv shares about the relationships the Israeli Engaged Dharma group has created with a Palestinian town and the struggle for peace.
