Lunch with a teacher in the Druze Community

Wednesday, February 8, we were fortunate to be able to have lunch with Dr. Jaber Aburukun. He has been a teacher and principal at a school in his community and talked to us about his community and about the Druze religion.

There are about 110,000 members of the Druze community in Israel. This religion dates back about a thousand years and emphasizes truth, justice, peace and belief in God. The Druze consider their faith to be a new interpretation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Members of the Druze religion believe in reincarnation.
