In late March, a group of religious leaders were brought together in Jerusalem with the Elijah Interfaith Institute to call for peace in Ukraine. Among the speakers were His Beatitude Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Sheik Hassan Abu Galion, Rabbi David Rosen, and Muslim and Druze religious leaders. The purpose was to encourage Patriarch Kirill to use his position as head of the Russian Orthodox Church for peacemaking.
