Jewish- and Arab-American Comics Star in Benefit
"Stand Up for Peace," a comedy benefit for Hands of Peace, a unique interfaith program designed to foster long-term peaceful coexistence among Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans, will be held Saturday, Feb. 9, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
In their show, "Stand Up for Peace: The Two-Comedian Solution to Middle East Peace," Scott Blakeman and Dan Obeidallah, Jewish- and Arab-American comedians, respectively, bring people of all backgrounds together to laugh and to engage in dialog about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Hands of Peace allows teens whose lives are directly impacted by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to meet each other on neutral ground, share life stories, learn about non-violent conflict resolution and recognize their common humanity.
Tickets for this benefit performance are $60 for adults and $30 for students. For details and reservations, visit www.hands-of-peace.org or call 847-277-1914.
For more information, contact the Office of College Advancement at 847-635-1806.
