QUOTES

We had in mind a small village composed of inhabitants from different communities in the country. Jews, Christians and Muslims would live there in peace, each one faithful to his own faith and traditions, while respecting those of others. Each would find in this diversity a source of personal enrichment.

every seed of true love will give - today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - the fruit of love.

"We were very affected by the fact that Israel is such a developing country. And we started dreaming of something that could break down walls of fear, of prejudice, of stereotypes, ignorance about the other one and so one. And something that could build bridges of respect, and hopefully of friendship."
