 <br />Passover is approaching and Jews around the world will repeat the re
 frain that represents a deeply-rooted longing for Jerusalem.  Palestinian
 s\, as well\, have a deep religious and historical connection to the city\
 , and the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israel
 i–Palestinian conflict.<br /> <br />Over the past few years\, the force
 d eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in 
 East Jerusalem has added a further impediment to the peaceful future of Je
 rusalem.  In response\, an organized and joint Israeli/Palestinian non-vi
 olent opposition to the eviction has grown into an effective and inspiring
  protest movement.  Home Front: Portraits from Sheikh Jarrah profiles som
 e of the activists involved in this growing protest movement\, which is ga
 rnering international attention.<br /> <br />Join the New Israel Fund and
   J Street NYC as we examine these current events and deliberate a future
  hope for an equitable and just Jerusalem.<br /> <br /><strong>About the
