“Shalom” - a Jewish mother is greeting her neighbour, an Arab woman who is answering “Assalamu Alaikum”(Peace be with you). The two women
chat a little about their children whom they have just accompanied to the interreligious kindergarten while these have already started playing with each other.
“Peace be with you” - a dream?
The dream of this peace greeting to be shared again as a matter of course among Jewish and Arab people is the overall aim of the “ABRAHAMSZELT”
association and in particular the wish of the “peace cook” Jalil Schwarz, chairman of the society, who was born in Ramle/Palestine (now Israel).
After several years of preliminary work, this dream now becomes reality through the construction of a kindergarten for Jewish, Christian and Muslim
children in the community of NeveShalom/Wahat al Salam (www.nswas.org),
situated between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
In this kindergarten children will learn from childhood to accept and understand each other: The cornerstone for a peaceful living together!
“Peace begins with children”
