Support Our Work

The focus of the webinar is to highlight the courageous ways the journey of our speakers has been to “get to know the other,” becoming peace advocates and activists. 

There is so much violence in the Middle East right now, as well as many perspectives, nuances, and differences of opinion that could interfere with the intention of the event.  Please respect the intention of this webinar and keep the focus on the material being presented.  September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows does collaborate with a range of organizations in the region such as Combatants for Peace, and the Parents Circle Family Forum.

SPEAKER: Marwa Abu Juila is an entrepreneur and activist devoted to walking the path of peace and conscious leadership. She holds a master's degree in Conflict Resolution and works as a behavioral analyst in schools.  Marwa leads youth circles focused on social engagement, dialogue, and community empowerment.  She is also a sound healer, integrating voice and sound as tools for inner balance and collective healing.  In addition, she is a member of the Executive Board of the Tishreen Association, where she actively contributes to cultural and social initiatives.

SPEAKER: Rabbi Amita Jarmon currently lives in Amherst, MA. She lived in Israel between 1978 and 1988, and again from 2009-2021. During her recent 12 years in Israel, she was active in projects with Rabbis for Human Rights , Seeds of Peace, and served on the Steering Committee of the Sulha Peace Project. Sulha brings Israelis and Palestinians together for listening circles, sharing personal experiences and emotions that create bonds of empathy and commitment to a just and peaceful path forward together. In addition, Rabbi Amita is one of the four co-directors of Friends of Women of Vision, which brought Jewish women from the US to meet with Jewish, Palestinian and Druze Women of Vision in Israel and Palestine in March 2025.  

MODERATOR: Robyn Bernstein Donati lost her mother at the World Trade Center on 9-11-01. She is co-chair of the Peaceful Tomorrows Islamophobia Committee. Despite her mother’s murder, Robyn never wanted retribution or revenge. She never got angry, only profoundly sad. The actions the United States of America took after 9-11 do not represent her or her wishes. Robyn is passionate about combatting the rise in Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism, especially as they have both risen dramatically since October 7, 2024. - Twenty-five years, yes twenty-five years after 9-11, there is a strong need for this work to continue. Protection of religious freedom and human rights strengthens our nation, denying those rights is un-American. Repressive policies that grow out of fear, hatred, and greed do not serve us well.
