Choosing to Grieve Together: Parents Circle - Families Forum
November 13, 2025
from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM

Join bereaved Israeli and Palestinian members of the Parents Circle as they share stories of loss and reconciliation.
The Parents Circle - Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of over 800 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the conflict. Through their educational activities, these bereaved members have joined together to take tens of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis on journeys of reconciliation. It is often raw and always emotional. But out of these interactions, comes change. Not the kind of change that makes headlines, but a more personal and profound shift in perspective.
As a joint Israeli-Palestinian peace organization, the PCFF models constructive dialogue around shared values. Its staff, members, and thousands of participants are committed to peace and a way forward that centers around empathy and humanization. The PCFF focuses on the shared value of the sanctity of human life.
HIU will hold this event both online and in person with PCFF participants on a Zoom webinar. Those who would like to participate online will be given a Zoom link before the program.
