Shalom All,
The Tri-Wizard Program is one that seeks to bring Israeli Jewish High School Students and Israeli Arab High School Students (Muslim, Christian, and Druze) from the ORT High Schools in the Akko area together with American High School Students so that they may learn about each other's cultures and views on major issues, such as the peace process. It is one of the best examples of how Jews and Arabs can work toward coexistence. The program is funded by multiple organizations including the UJA and ultimately the local Jewish Federations in the Western Galilee partnership.
This presentation was given as part of the program for the Partnership 2000 Rabbis and Presidents Mission in 2008.
