Examine the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and generate fresh ideas for a peaceful resolution. Join international and local experts to discuss both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and work to find common ground at the 2009 Summer Peace Institute, organized by the Nobel Peace Laureate Center (formerly the Wholistic Peace Institute) and hosted by Concordia University. The event begins with a dinner at 6 p.m. on Sept. 9 and presentation of the first Harold Schnitzer “Spirit of Unity” prize to three humanitarians including Rabbi Emeritus Joshua Stampfer for their outstanding efforts toward the expansion of dialog and increased understanding among the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths. Dinner is $100 per person. For more information about the events or to register, contact the Nobel Peace Laureate Center, 503-266-8996 or email worldpeace@canby.com.
