"Human beings are hardwired to trust one another more when we sing together," says Micah Hendler, founder of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, a music and dialogue project that brings young Palestinian and Israeli individuals together through song. Hendler and executive director Amer Abu Arqub explore how music creates cross-cultural understanding \u2014 even during times of war \u2014 and introduce the young singers, who perform a powerful anthem of nonviolence and call on listeners to choose a different way forward.
