“We woke up early and drove to a nearby public school called “Yad Be Yad,” or “Hand in Hand,” an integrated Arab-Israeli school. We took an amazing tour and met a fascinating tenth grade student who told us about the reactions people have to her controversial schooling decision. Each of us were blown away by the negative and positive backlash, the insane hoops the school had to jump through, and what a radical change this represents in society. We saw young Arab and Israeli kids sitting next to each other, playing together, and making Purim masks together.”
