Diep respect waar deze twee warme mensen voor staan.
Little acknowledged is that Arabs and Jews even within the state of Israel live mostly separate lives.
There is little engagement, and continuing ignorance and aversion toward one another.
Thus, few citizens have communication tools or the courage to engage each another. This especially across borders with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
In contrast, Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish-Arab Education is building a new, inclusive society, partnership and equality through a network of integrated, bilingual schools and shared communities of children, youth and adults throughout Israel.

"Jews and Arabs — learning together, living together — and changing the world together," they say, "one school, one community at a time.
