In memory of Bruno Hussar, 1911 - 1996
Sunday 8 February 2009
Fr. Bruno Hussar, the founder of Wahat al-Salam - Neve Shalom, passed away on February 8, 1996. We remember him today. His dream of a community where Christians, Jews and Muslims would live in an "oasis of peace" came true, even in his lifetime. His dream that the Middle East, and the entire world, would enjoy peace, continues to elude us.
Only a visionary can see through the darkness to a place where there is sunshine. May Bruno rest peacefully: now, as when he lived, a strong community of Palestinians and Jews remains committed to his vision, despite the deep darkness of our times.
The Community of Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam
The reality of Neve Shalom - Wahat al-Salam as a binational community serves as the base for its educational work. This section has articles and reports on the village’s government, infrastructure, and future development plans, some pages about community members, and a chronicle of events. Information regarding the volunteer program can be found here.
Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam was founded in 1970 on land leased (and later given) to it by the adjacent Monastery of Latroun. In 1977 the first family came to reside here. By 2006, about 52 families are settled in the village. The members of Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam are demonstrating the possibility of coexistence between Jews and Palestinians by developing a community based on mutual acceptance, respect and cooperation.
Democratically governed and owned by its members, the community is not affiliated with any political party or movement. Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam gives practical expression to its vision through its various branches.
