Three leaders of each faith, united by a good initiative

The delegation is scheduled to visit the leaders of the region and holy places for the three religions. "We are working to export the model of coexistence in which society lives Argentina rather than import the Middle East conflict to our country," said Claudio Epelman, director of the Latin American Jewish Congress (CJL). The initiative came together with the Institute of Interfaith Dialogue, said the priest Guillermo Marco, who said the trip "is an objective in itself because it leads us to be together and share everyday, everyday actions."

Epelman detailed that will meet "20 with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah; 23 with Shimon Peres in Jerusalem, Israel, 25 with Jordanian King Abdullah II in Amman, and on 27 February the Francisco pope in Vatican City. " On the way you will visit the Via Dolorosa, the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall, the Temple Mount and the Temple Mount.

"They are out to sow" concluded scored expectantly about the outcome of this unprecedented experience that is about to begin.
