* Educating their children in both Hebrew and Greek

* Sponsoring week-end schools for peace training in conflict management

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Laureate: “When Jews and Arabs
get together, work together, live together, they create their own miracle: Neve Shalom is such a miracle – it deserves our warmest support, for it justifies our highest hopes.”
