My dear Friends
Sorry I haven't written for a while, but things have been a bit hectic. I am going down to London on Sunday to the Cadogan Hall to a concert. You may remember that I went there recently to hear that marvellous concert on the 50th anniversary of the independence of Cyprus. This time it's a concert for Peace, given by The Middle East Orchestra for Peace.
I have no idea what they are playing, a friend kindly gave me the ticket but I will let you know after the concert.Music is one of the best ways of making peace, its a universal language, crossing all the divides and it lifts the spirit. When I do my concerts, the people all sing together, making a special resonance and I humbly say effecting Tikkun Haolam, a Rabbinical concept meaning 'fixing the world.'
Think of the great singers for peace in our time, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton, to name but a few. They may not have ended conflicts but it s huge statement in our troubled world.
Shalom from
Sister Gila
