Jewish-Arab Parents’ Network
The Parents’ Network creates a nucleus of coexistence advocates within the local community by forging friendships between Jewish and Arab residents of Ramle. Fifty adults (sometimes joined by their 35 children) participate in weekend family outings to nature sites around the country, holiday celebrations, and regular meetings at OPEN HOUSE to hear guest speakers and exchange views. One highlight of this year’s activities was the model Seder held before Passover, which afforded many of the Arab parents their first opportunity to share in the experience of a Passover Seder.
