Around 60 people came on 6 September to the annual gathering of "Interfaith Encounter Day" that took place this year too at the Felm Center in Jerusalem.
This year we added an artistic component – an artist led a process of joint creation of a bench and a group of participants worked with him. Other participants enjoyed refreshments and informal conversations, with people they knew and with new people.
At six we held a short session of blessings. Rev. Seppo Paulasaari welcomed us in the name of Felm and stressed how much they are happy cooperating with IEA. Then Dr. Yehuda Stolov greeted the people and stressed the unique opportunity for people who attend encounters of one group to meet people from other groups and learn how they work, and for new people to get to know IEA in a special way.
Then participants talked with each other in encounter circles. They got to know each other personally as well as shared and learned about the ways various groups work.
At seven thirty we invited people for a light supper.
