Our Values
-
"Elham - the Day After" is not just a bridge between Israeli and Palestinian communities; it is also a path towards reconnecting with the indigenous roots and stories of our country. As part of our broader mission, we recognize the importance of embracing the rich heritage and traditions of the indigenous peoples who have inhabited this land for generations.
In our quest to foster understanding and unity, we've embarked on a journey to learn about the local farming heritage deeply rooted in indigenous practices. Through this exploration, we not only gain insight into sustainable farming methods and age-old agricultural wisdom but also honor the invaluable contributions of the indigenous communities to the land's history and culture.
By immersing ourselves in the stories and traditions of these indigenous groups, we aim to create a space where their voices are heard and their legacies are celebrated. Through collaboration with indigenous artisans, storytellers, and farmers, "Elham - the Day After" seeks to weave together the threads of the past and present, forging connections that transcend time and heritage.
In embracing the indigenous, we not only learn about their traditions but also recognize the interconnectedness of all communities that call this land home. By weaving these narratives into the fabric of our initiative, we hope to contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious future, where indigenous roots are acknowledged and respected as an integral part of our shared cultural heritage. In doing so, we take a step towards a society characterized not only by justice, equality, and inclusivity but also by a deep and profound connection to the land and its original stewards.

Transnational community building across the ancient land of Canaan, the Levant, and the Middle East, often referred to as "A Sham," represents a profound aspiration for unity amidst a historically complex and diverse region. The term "A Sham" itself, derived from the Arabic word for "the Levant," carries with it a symbolic resonance, signifying the potential for transcending geographical and political boundaries.
In the heart of this ancient land, where history and tradition intertwine, lies a mosaic of cultures, religions, and identities. It is a place where stories of coexistence and collaboration have, for centuries, interwoven with tales of conflict and division. Yet, within the fabric of this rich tapestry, there exists an enduring thread of shared heritage, one that speaks to the common humanity that unites us all.
The concept of "A Sham" envisions a future where the borders and boundaries that have historically divided people are replaced by bridges of understanding and cooperation. It recognizes that the challenges faced in the region are not confined to any one nation or community but are shared experiences that necessitate collective solutions.
Transnational community building in "A Sham" is a call to embrace the commonalities that bind us together while respecting the unique identities and histories that make this region so culturally diverse. It encourages dialogue, cultural exchange, and collaboration across lines of conflict and difference, with the aim of fostering an environment where inclusivity, equality, and peace can flourish.
In the midst of complex geopolitics and enduring conflicts, the vision of "A Sham" serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that the ancient land of Canaan, the Levant, and the Middle East has always been a place where diverse peoples and cultures intersected. Through transnational community building, we honor this legacy and work towards a future where the shared dream of unity transcends the weight of history and paves the way for a more harmonious and inclusive region.
