by Erez Bleicher
Prominent scholars and civil society organizers joined together at the American Colony Hotel on December 21st for an evening of lively discussion in celebration of the latest issue of the Palestine-Israel Journal (PIJ) devoted to Young Voices in Jerusalem. Speakers painted a rich picture of the conditions young activists contend with in this bleak time of violence, resilience, and shattered expectations. They unpacked the morbid realities these activists negotiate daily and highlighted the clarity, vitality, and transformative possibility they embody despite the hardships they must overcome. The speakers included executive director of Ir Amim Yudith Oppenheimer, director of Near East Consulting Jamil Rabah, researcher Yuval Piurko of the Zofnat Institute for Consulting, architect and urban planner Tariq Nassar of IPCC Jerusalem, veteran Jerusalem activist Shalom Boguslavsky, social entrepreneur and media consultant Yossi Saidov of Tag Meir, and project manager at Al Quds University Nadia Harhash. The event was hosted and moderated by co-editors of the PIJ Hillel Schenker and Ziad AbuZayyad.
