From Joyce Schelling of Orland we learn the public is invited to hear Dr. Aaron Ahuvia of the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace discuss the psychology of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ahuvia makes his first presentation in our area at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, March 2, at Adas Yoshuron Synagogue, 50 Willow St., Rockland, and his second at 1 p.m. that day, at Congregation Beth El, 183 French St., Bangor.

In one of three Maine appearances, Ahuvia will speak at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 1, at Temple Beth El, 400 Deering Ave., Portland.

According to the information Schelling provided, Ahuvia "will talk about psychological research and what it can tell us about the conflict and how to get past obstacles to lasting peace. He will also look at a potential role of the American Jewish community in helping Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace."

In its fourth year, the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace claims to be "America's largest Jewish peace group with 37,000 supporters and 40 chapters nationwide" with "chapters beginning to form in Maine."
