“Life and death have I placed before you, blessing and curse—so choose life, that you and your descendants may live!” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
In Jewish tradition, the combined eighth and tenth letters of the Hebrew alphabet represent the number 18—and the intrinsic value of life. On the 18th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, join WAYS OF PEACE as we “choose life” by walking the 9/11 commemorative labyrinth in downtown Manhattan. We will offer this intimate and contemplative walk at 4:00 pm on both Wednesday 9/11 and Monday 9/23 (the Hebrew date of the anniversary).
A labyrinth fosters mindfulness that how we walk is integral to where we are going. As we follow the winding path together, we will bear witness to the ongoing devastation of post-9/11 wars and recommit ourselves to the still, small voices of peace. LEARN MORE
EACH WALK IS LIMITED TO 18 PARTICIPANTS due to Parks Department regulations (as well as the 18th anniversary). PLEASE RSVP to reserve and confirm your participation on either Wednesday 9/11 or Monday 9/23.
These 9/11 anniversary peace walks are offered through “How to Mourn AND Organize,” an integrative project of WAYS OF PEACE. The Wednesday walk is offered in collaboration with Judson Memorial Church. 
Emerging from the 9/11/01 disaster relief—and gathering momentum since the 2016 elections—“How to Mourn AND Organize” brings together the timeless wisdom of prophets, sages, activists and artists in dialogue with contemporary best practices for responding to hate speech and violence. LEARN MORE
