“Learn about this Arab-Jewish initiative in which women co-create an inclusive space to reflect within, with the earth and abundance of nature, and with other women to give expression to each unique voice. Our monthly gatherings weave music, singing, dancing, art making and breaking bread in each others homes. Most importantly we are co-creating our visions and hope for a better, shared future.

We have been working together since the summer of 2024, despite all the violence raging around us. Our community now includes more than 120 women from across faiths, regions of Israel and walks of life.”

Rabbi Dahlia Shaham was born and raised Haifa, Israel and lives there today with her family. She holds an LLB in Law and Latin American studies from the Hebrew University (2003), and an M.A. of Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University (2009) and worked in policy research and advocacy NGOs which promote sustainability and peace in Israel and the Middle East.

Dahlia received her Rabbinic Ordination from the Hebrew Union College (2019). Her rabbinate is guided by passion for peace and justice, faith in the healing power of prayer and music, and devotion to her homeland and those who dwell in it.

As a rabbi, Dahlia leads holiday and life event services and teaches in “Or Hadash” congregation in Haifa and “Kedem” congregation in Melbourne. She brings her rabbinate to diverse and creative settings including publicist writing, women's circles, playback theater, nature minyans, music and spoken word performance and writing.

Dahlia volunteers on the executive board of Rabbis for Human Rights. With her life partner, Aran, she directs Hamam al Pasha – a historic building in downtown Haifa, which offers a womb-like space for culinary, cultural and spiritual celebrations. She enjoys communing with nature, dance, music and exploring the world together with her family.
