Imagine a day where armies pause from fighting, where warring factions have a day of truce, where aid and help can be transported into war-torn areas without fear, and you start to understand the idea behind Peace One Day. Then try to convince the United Nations to adopt a single day to promote peace.
Get the Dali Lama behind it—easy. Try to get the Arab League to endorse it after Shimon Peres has endorsed it—impossible.
No blame. No pointing fingers. Not a day of protest. Check out the video for more.
If you need help or ideas for creating a Peace One Day program in your shtetle you can check out PeaceOneDay.org or holler back at your Rabbi Yo here on the comments.

I’ve met Jeremy and he is a truly committed individual and I can attest to the fact that he is a man of action not just words.
