Eliyahu McLean
Eliyahu McLean is the director of the Jerusalem Peacemakers, a network of religious leaders and grassroots peacebuilders in the Holy Land. Some projects of Jerusalem Peacemakers include the Abrahamic Reunion, a group of Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Druze religious leaders working together to re-claim religion as a source for peace, and the annual “Jerusalem Hug” event, that brings Israelis, Palestinians and others to pray together around the walls of the Old CIty.
Eliyahu was initiated as a ‘Rodef Shalom’, ‘Peace Pursuer’ by Reb Zalman Schachter Shalomi. Eliyahu’s work with Palestinian Sufis is written about in the book “At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jew’s Search for God with the Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land” by Yossi Klein Halevi
