Please watch C-Span if possible for the Darfur speeches.

[peacetalksforall]

It is beautiful to see the representatives from all religions making their ptich for the end of genocide in Darfur.

The Rabbi just spoke about a three year old who grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go. Please hear it for yourself.

The event is very moving.
