A fundraiser for HEAL Palestine, as well as a book release from local healer and author, Wendy Elisheva Somerson (WES)

Wendy Elisheva Somerson
Wendy Elisheva Somerson (Wes) is a non-binary Jewish somatic healer, writer, visual artist, and activist who helped found the Seattle chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. They facilitate Ruach, body-based Jewish healing groups held in an anti-Zionist, anti-racist, and feminist framework. As part of a movement of anti-Zionist Jews, they support Jewish healing from historical trauma and promote a liberatory future for Judaism and Jewishness beyond Zionism that includes a free Palestine.

Stefanie Fox
Stefanie Fox, MPH (she/her) is the Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a grassroots membership organization that organizes and mobilizes hundreds of thousands of Jews and allies into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle and a vision of Judaism beyond Zionism. Stefanie joined JVP in 2009 as the organization’s first National Organizer and played multiple roles as part of the team that grew the organization into the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world.

Selma Al-Aswad
Selma Al-Aswad is a Palestinian-Syrian organizer and researcher based in Seattle. She has organized at the nexus of Palestine liberation and multiple feminist and anti-colonial social movements for the past 20 years, locally and transnationally, and currently organizes with the Palestinian Feminist Collective. Deeply inspired by her mystical lineages, Selma is passionate about the understanding of personal and collective healing as a journey of spiritual integration.

Shelby Handler 
Shelby Handler is a writer, translator, and organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace.

Rachel Edelman
Rachel Edelman is a Jewish poet who writes into diasporic living. Her debut collection of poems, Dear Memphis (River River Books, 2024), excavates her Jewish family’s displacement and belonging over five generations in Memphis, Tennessee, alongside the histories of their community and environment. She teaches in the Seattle Public Schools, where embodiment and care root her personal, poetic, and pedagogical practice.

Levoneh 
Levoneh is a collaborative music project led by composer and producer, Ross Kirshenbaum, based in Seattle, WA on unceded Duwamish territory.

Shpilkis 
Shpilkis is an 8-piece klezmer brass band (brass, woodwinds and drums) from Seattle, Washington, located on the unceded land of the Coast Salish Peoples and specifically the Duwamish Tribe. Since forming in 2017, Shpilkis continues to transform potential into kinetic energy on dance floors at simkhas, festivals, clubs, holiday events, and block parties. Shpilkis creates a soundscape that is chaotic, loose, and raucous, while also being organized and thoughtful. Every instrument intertwines and argues about the melody, pushing and pulling at the rhythm, and kicking tukheses out of their seats to dance! A fixture in the Yiddish music scene of the Pacific Northwest, Shpilkis brings the party to the local klezmer scene and Yiddishkayt to the party music scene alike.
