Children of Israel

This book contains stories that are not widely known, and that show so movingly that peace is possible. The personalities of the children shine through in their photos as well as in the accompanying quotes, which range from poignant to utterly hilarious. Includes images of Israeli children from an array of different cultures photographed against the backdrop of Israeli landscapes, ancient structures or iconic buildings, or in the children s homes, schools or kibbutzim. In photos that span the length and breadth of Israel, there are children walking in the mountains of Masada, boys celebrating their Bar Mitzvahs at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, Jewish and Arab girls from the Peres Center for Peace playing soccer together. There are Bedouin children using an iPod in the Negev Desert, Bedouin, Arab and Jewish kids learning martial arts at Budo for Peace on the Mediterranean Sea, kids having fun playing the piano on the streets in Tel Aviv.
