Room 15
Almost without exception, Jewish and Arab children in Israel attend separate schools and have no meaningful contact with each other. The Abraham Initiatives' Shared Learning Initiative pairs Arab and Jewish classes to learn English together. This initiative has been so successful that the Israeli Government is now considering adopting it.
Room 13
Elie Wiesel famously said: "Whoever listens to a witness, becomes a witness." Generation 2 Generation presents its uniquely personal film "Memories of the November Pogrom" in which we use testimony from five of our speakers and their parents about the events surrounding those horrendous days. Join us to view our film and for a discussion.
Room 12
Using art and archaeology, we make a virtual visit to the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and see what an average day looked like for the priests who worked there.

Room 14
A West End adaptation of the classic Dreamworks motion picture - what could possibly go wrong? Turns out... quite a lot! We'll compare excerpts from the biblical text, the film and the musical. Alert: there will be spoilers, and maybe some singing-along as well.
Room 17
Since 2015, about 55,000 Russians have immigrated to Israel - nearly double the number in the decade prior to that year. In this session, we will understand why are they leaving, why now, how they're different to the wave of aliyah that preceded them and what new benefits and complications they are bringing to the Jewish state.
