In its 11th year of success, the Shonim Beyachad artistic educational project endowing the values of equality, tolerance and inclusion of each other, by recognizing our shared humanity, has touched the hearts of hundreds of visitors.<\/p>\n

Shonim\u00a0<\/em>culminates in an exhibition of the art work, which was created by students of the participating school from a variety of ages and backgrounds.\u00a0 Hundreds of works have been submitted and selected by our panel of judges, comprised of experts in the arts and education.\u00a0 The chosen works were enlarged and exhibited on the walls of Dizengoff Center, Israel’s busiest shopping mall located in the heart of Tel Aviv and at the Jaffa Port, another heavily trafficked tourist area.<\/p>\n

The project began in Sarasota, Florida under the name Embracing Our<\/em> Differences<\/em>, with the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee as one of their community partners. Through our connection with the Jewish Federation in Sarasota, and with their support, we began our Shonim BeYahad program here in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

In 2015, at the opening ceremony, we were honored to welcome, among other distinguished guests, Mrs. Nechama Rivlin, First Lady of Israel, and Mr. Asaf Zamir, Deputy Mayor of Tel Aviv. Both spoke passionately on the values such a project promotes. In fact, following the opening ceremony, Mrs. Rivlin wrote on the President of Israel’s official Facebook page that:<\/p>\n

“This exhibition can teach us all a lesson about humanity, tolerance and inclusion. On patience and the love of humankind. We must have this hope, the ability of the youth to feel, even beyond what you see. To look forward.\u00a0\u00a0I am hopeful that this wonderful project will continue to succeed and will be a center for encounters between youths of different religions, ethnicity\u00a0and [societal] sectors.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Today, there is a threat to the delicate tapestry which makes up the Israeli society.\u00a0 Particularly now, it is imperative to promote this initiative and the values of inclusion and equality it promotes among students. We were so proud to bring the winning artwork to the United States for exhibitions across the country, to Atlanta, Washington, DC, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and more! Among the participating congregations and organizations included:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Temple Sinai, Washington, DC<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Central Synagogue, New York<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Temple de Hirsch, Seattle<\/p>\n

If you would like to bring the artwork and spirit of this project to your community, please contact Leehee Kanne at leehee@beit-daniel.org.il<\/a> .\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
