It was an evening of music and theater at a historic synagogue in downtown Washington D.C. But the thoughts and prayers of Christians, Muslims, and Jews gathered were about Middle East peace and the desire for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The event was sponsored by Yes We Can: Middle East Peace, a newly formed partnership of religious and secular Americans in the Washington D.C. area. The goal is to build a grass roots campaign for Middle East Peace modeled on the success of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Jeff Swicord reports.
