\u201cResistance in Battir- Then and Now\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Walk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Walk with Us Through Time to the West Bank Village Battir, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.  <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The Battir Valley is thick with presence, holding memories from ancient to modern times.  The Roman road in the bowl of the valley, dotted with ancient tombs, weaves through ancient olive groves still tended by the nearby Palestinians.  The village of Battir holds the remnants of the last stronghold of the Bar Kokhba revolt and the plaque commemorating the Romans who crushed it in 135 CE, while the terraced hills, predating that time, still flourish with the gardens of the people who live there.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the not-so-distant past, the people of Battir drew on their amazing creativity to save the village during the war in 1948\u2014and this creative resistance in the face of overwhelming forces that threaten their land continues to this day.  Please join us as we learn together about the 2000 year history of this beautiful land and it\u2019s amazing people who have much to teach us about the power of creative, nonviolent resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
