dc.descriptionBorn in 1944 in Kafr Yasif, Palestine, Fahed Abu-Akel spent the first four years of his life under British rule. When the State of Israel was created in 1948, he fled with his father and his siblings to a refugee encampment in a Druze village while his mother stayed behind in their home. Once he returned to his village, he grew up under Israeli rule, learning Arabic, Hebrew, and English in school. Having felt the call to ministry, he immigrated to the United States in 1966 and became a Presbyterian Minister. Based on his experiences as a child, and his witnessing of the Civil Rights movement in the United States, Rev. Fahed Abu-Akel has spent much of his adult life advocating for justice and peace in Palestine and Israel.
