The Jerusalem Hug

The Jerusalem Hug project of Jerusalem PeaceMakers promotes peace, freedom and joy to all people in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Hug focuses on love, respect and unity between all people. At the annual Hug, participants surround the walls of the Old City holding hands, singing and praying for peace and respect for all humankind.

Each year since 2007, The Jerusalem Hug attracts not only Nuslim, Christian and Jewish residents of Jerusalem but also peace activists from Israel and from all over the world.

The Jerusalem Hug is a symbol for another way to achieve peace. Everywhere the belief in a political solution of the Middle East conflict has been gone down to point zero. There ought to be found another way and that is the way of the heart. The Jerusalem Hug project is based on the belief that when we find peace in ourselves and when we are able to forgive, world peace will come closer. Change begins at the basis.

The Jerusalem Hug gives expression to this wish for change as a concrete statement. Jerusalem stands as a symbol for peace and forgiveness in the world. Let Jerusalem be a city of connection, the heart of the world where unity and peace will be a fact.
