TOPIC: Looking through the Messiah's GlassesJoin John English and Eliyahu as they discuss his work as a Middle East Peacemaker. American-born McLean’s title ‘Radash’ is a Hebrew acronym for ‘pursuer of peace’. McLean, 35, was born to a Jewish mother and Christian father. At the age of 12, he became interested in Judaism, and over the next decade his journey took him through Young Judea, the Israel Action Committee at the University of California, Berkeley, Isralight, Chabad and Jewish Renewal. Seeking to understand the spiritual background of the religions in the Holy Land, he lived and worked with Palestinian construction workers in Jerusalem by day and studied in a yeshiva in the Old City by night, spent two months studying Islam in Egypt, learned fluent Arabic and Hebrew, and herded goats in the Galilee. He was inspired to work more deeply for peace by the death of a Jewish friend in a suicide bombing; the friend's father said "Eliyahu, I'm counting on you to continue your work for peace." Today, McLean travels around Israel and the world promoting co-existence between Arabs and Jews, regularly using his American passport to enter Arab countries and Palestinian villages.
