Dear Friends of Givat Haviva,
A surreal reality surrounds our work. On the one hand, the sky is dark – a murderous attack in Tel Aviv was carried out by a neighbor – a resident of one of the communities that is a partner in our efforts to build a shared society in Wadi Ara. The day after the attack, the Israeli Prime Minister incited against the whole of Arab society, and later in the month the Israeli government (through legislation) and the right-wing “Im Tirtzu” movement (through an attempt at “shaming”), pursued a campaign hounding the left-wing organizations and those intellectuals and cultural icons of Israel who do not share the government’s views.
Givat Haviva newsletter December 2015
2015 was a confusing year. On the one hand, the difficult and complex reality of relations between Jews and Arabs following escalation of the conflict, legislation in the Knesset, the government’s moves against the Islamic movement, etc., and on the other hand, a flowering and expansion of the range of our activities at Givat Haviva, in both quality and quantity. A year of breakthrough in the scope of our activity and at the same time a year in which the walls in the heart between Israel’s Arabs and Jews grew even higher.

In deze nieuwsbrief kijken we terug op een zeer geslaagde tentoonstelling “Through other’s eyes” in de Domkerk. Omdat de kerk dagelijks zoveel bezoekers trekt is de tentoonstelling door heel veel mensen bekeken. De reacties in ons gastenboek zijn hartverwarmend. Enkele quotes treft u hierbij aan.

De tentoonstelling “Through others eyes” die wij vorig jaar in De Gang in Haarlem en in de Lourdeskerk in Scheveningen hebben gehouden krijgt een vervolg! Ditmaal zullen de foto’s te zien zijn in de Domkerk te Utrecht. We zijn erg enthousiast over deze prachtige locatie.
