When dehumanisation and destruction become the norm, the cycle must be broken. Following decades of dialogue facilitation between Jews, Muslims and Christians, Ittay Flescher believes that today's enemies can be the partners of the future. Join the Sydney launch of his first book, The holy and the broken, which challenges Palestinian and Israeli leaders, citizens, and their supporters worldwide to imagine a different reality in a book that will comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable. 

The evening includes an in conversation with Ittay and Melanie, followed by Q&A with a live performance from Harpbeat Music, book sales and light refreshments.
