March 22, 2024 at 7 pm 

Philip Farah was born four years after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, a moment known as the Nakba to Palestinians around the world. He was raised in East Jerusalem, Jordan. The Farah family became part of the Palestinian Diaspora when they were barred from returning to their home in Israel. In 1976, he was arrested, tortured, and spent two months in an Israeli prison without a public trial. He immigrated to the US at the age of 27.

Philip holds a doctoral degree in environmental economics from UNM and did his undergraduate work at the American University of Beirut. He has taught in Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank. He is a founding member of the Palestinian Christian Alliance for Peace (2012) and a member of the Virginia Coalition for Human Rights. He has spoken across the United States and on NPR after the bombing of St Porphyrios Church in Gaza where he has extended family. He recently retired after a 35-year career as an economist in Washington, DC. 

Please bring dates to share in honor of those in Gaza celebrating Ramadan.
