Call to Live FOR Justice, Peace and Dignity for All
June 04, 2025
If you were unable to attend the May 29 program at Midvale Community Lutheran Church in Madison, WI where Rev. Khader El-Yateem spoke on Gaza and the West Bank, it was recorded. This is an hour well worth your time. You are welcome to share it with others as well.
Rev. El-Yateem’s presentation was powerful and challenging and tells a very interesting story about his own experience with the Israeli Occupation Forces. He starts his remarks by saying his goal is not to have anyone leave feeling pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, but to be pro-human, to be for justice, peace, and dignity for all.
Khader El-Yateem is the Executive Director for Service and Justice at the ELCA. This event was sponsored by the South-Central Synod of Wisconsin, ELCA and Wisconsin’s Interfaith Peace Working Group.
If you would like to make a donation to support the ELCA Disaster Response and their work with schools, hospitals and psycho-social care in the West Bank and Gaza, you can do so on Midvale’s website by selecting the ELCA Disaster Response fund from the drop down menu on our secure online giving page.
