Hamsa Aleinu: Inspirational Stories of Everyday Israelis
Building relationships with people from different backgrounds than one’s own is an essential and enriching part of life. Learning from their stories and experiences, and sharing our own, informs how we relate to the world around us. The Hamsa Aleinu portrait exhibition provides educators an engaging tool to spotlight the partnerships between different groups within Israeli society today.
In partnership with Beit HaNasi (the Israeli President’s Office) and Vibe Israel, The iCenter crafted these resources for participants to connect with the exceptional real-life stories of Israelis from all backgrounds, and the inspiring initiatives to which they have contributed.
