The Easy Way to Peace in the Holy Land

In his TED talk, Dr. Yehuda Stolov presents the belief that peace in the Middle East is really quite simple — if we focus on our commonalities of our faith, rather than that which separates us. Yehuda is the executive director of the Interfaith Encounter Association, an organization that works to establish peaceful inter-communal relations in the Holy Land through active interfaith dialogue. Dr. Stolov has lectured on the role of religious dialogue in peace-building throughout the world, including Jordan, Indonesia, Turkey, South Korea, North America and Europe.
