HELPING CHARITIES THAT PROMOTE PEACE
A portion of the profits will be donated to two charities that promote coexistence
amongst Israelis and Palestinians in Israel: "Hand in Hand" and "The
Parent's Circle - Bereaved Families Forum."
Hand in Hand schools seek to spark revolutionary change in Israeli education and society by establishing a new educational paradigm: integrated, bilingual schools where Jewish and Arab children and their families learn and grow together. Hand in Hand's mission is to catalyze the creation of a network of integrated schools around the country, providing Jewish and Arab parents the option to send their children to schools where they can learn and interact with all their neighbors.
The Parents' Circle - Bereaved Families Forum is nearly 500 Israeli and
Palestinian families who have lost loved ones in the conflict. Yet they
reject violence, traveling and speaking side by side to call on both peoples
to reconcile in the spirit of peace. Always Arab and Jew together, they
facilitate classroom Dialogue sessions in high schools, promote the "Hello
Peace" telephone chat line for communication between Palestinians and
Israelis, hold a summer camp for the children, and tour the Middle East and
North America creating hope in the hearts of both peoples.
