Listen to Mahbood's Music Now
Describing Mahbood's music, interfaith leader Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi said it "has realized the voices of great mystics from many cultures for contemporary America ... Let your spirit soar with these songs!" Gary Goldberg, host of "In the Spirit" on WRPI-91.5 FM (Troy, NY) says, "I am delighted to say Mahbood's CD 'Head Over Heels' is getting frequent play on my radio shows. The songs are upbeat and original with great musicality. They have an energy that elicits devotion as well as celebration, to dance and to sing!"
Pir Shabda Kahn, the Spiritual Director of the Sufi Ruhaniat International, adds, "Mahbood's CD is beautiful! May many beings enjoy its melodious and warm expression of love."

Upcoming Abrahamic Reunion Events
Pictured: Nabi Shuiab, Site of Prophet Jethro's Tomb, one of the most sacred places to the Druze Faith
The Abrahamic Reunion's next peace journey - click above for details.
We hope to gain permits for Gazans to join this journey - after the March 22nd Gaza Cross-border prayer, there have been requests to bring Gazans. The process is more difficult and time consuming, send your prayers that they will be allowed to visit Nabi Shuiab, Tsfat, Rame, St Anthony School, and more.
June 3-4: Abrahamic Reunion Leadership Retreat & Peace Summit at Tantur Ecumenical Institute
Abrahamic Reunion Leaders will gather to discuss the next year of peacemaking in the Holy Land - how to capitalize off these 12 months of events, build stronger alliances (there will be other inter-faith and multi-faith peacemaking organizations invited to meet the AR leaders), to renew strength for Peacemaking with Shahabuddin David Less, who will be visiting to help facilitate the retreat.
Funds Needed to support this event - the AR is seeking funding to bring US Coordinator Chris Miller to this meeting to film, interview AR leaders, document, and facilitate discussion. More Info
October 15-19: Parliament Of The Worlds Religions
Salt Lake City, US
The AR has submitted several programs to the Parliament this year. It is the first time the Parliament will be held in the US for 30 years - an opportunity to come and support the AR. We seek to fly out 6-10 AR Peacemakers from Israel and Palestine for this event, a hallmark of the Multi-faith and Interfaith harmony movement; this Parliament featuring the Dalai Lama and Karen Armstrong. Consider joining us in Salt Lake City - or sponsoring a peacemaker's travel costs, or part of them.
Contact: theabrahamicreunion@gmail.com
 March 22nd Event - Cross-Border Gaza Prayer & The NegevThis event got TV Coverage - AR Member Imam Khalil Al Baz saw the footage in a mini-documentary when it aired this week on Channel 33 (Israeli Arabic News Channel) . When the clip is available we will send it out.
During the Cross-Border Prayer, Gazans on the telephone prayed in unison with the AR gathering, which was on a hill looking over into Gaza. It happened that the same day in the border area Israeli Military exercises were being conducted. On being approached by the AR, the military were pleasantly surprised, and echoed the AR's prayers for peace.
Elana Rozenmann reports that a Palestinian woman now comes to every AR event, and although she doesn't speak a single word of Hebrew, and Elana doesn't speak any Arabic, this Palestinian Muslim woman calls her "friend" in Arabic each time they meet.
(Being filmed with Gaza on the line: AR Members left to right: Elana Rozenmann, Rodef Shalom Eliyahu McLean, Unidentified, Arafat Abu Ross - West bank Coordinator, Sheikh Ghassan Manasra.)
