Yael Decklebaum, a force of nature:
Below, speaking our new language – heart language . . .
The interview is in English (even though it has a German title).
. . . the deeper key for peace: come home to self.
Moderator Katrin Seibold, Yael Deckelbaum talks about the power of the heart, among men and women, which can unleash the force of life.
“It is beyond words. It is beyond logic,” she says about what spread among the people there.
She also tells about the possibilities that ultimately offer themselves to every human being, to exist between self-assertion and self-sacrifice.
Bringing the women to the Dead Sea,
to the lowest place on Earth . . .
Women Wage Peace
This march happened October 2016.
The song “Prayer of the Mothers”, was born as a result of an alliance made between singer-songwriter Yael Deckelbaum, and a group of women, leading the movement of “Women Wage Peace”.
The movement arose on summer 2014 during the escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, and the military operation “Tzuk Eitan”.
On October 4, 2016, Jewish and Arab women began with the joint “March of Hope” project.
Thousands of women marched from the north of Israel to Jerusalem in a call for peace.
A call that reached it’s peak on October 19th, in a march of at least 4,000 women half of them Palestinian, and Half Israeli, in Qasr el Yahud (on the northern Dead Sea).
The very same evening 15,000 women protested in front of the priministors house in Jerusalem.
The marches were joined by the Nobel Prize for Peace winner Leymah Gbowee, who lead to the end of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003, by the joint force of women.
In the song, Yael combined a recording of Leymah, sampled from a youtube video in which she had sent her blessings to the movement.
