The future of mediation… and me.
Out of the blue I received an email yesterday seeking my knowledge of mediation as a career and process in Israel: How do you study? How long does it take? What requirements are there? The answer I gave is a bit depressing, but I guess, for now, it&#...
On building a lifelong relationship.
I thought I would republish some words I wrote to a friend on the subject of lifelong relationship, i.e., marriage. I took out the personal bits and reworded a bit, but you’ll get the drift: So many people go into these things (marriages) compl...
Turning drug addicts into people, one story at a time.
I joined a class field trip to a drug addict recovery center in south Tel Aviv today. We had a discussion with one of the administrators, young woman who was very passionate about her job, and then we heard from about eight recovering addicts about t...

In some kind of sliver of spare time, I work with a few other administrators, writers, bloggers, and artists on a project called Mideast Youth. It’s a cyber-dialogue media center created two years ago to promote tolerance, understanding and mos...
The last peace.
The last peace I experienced in New York was actually after the Towers had already come down. It was after I had sat and stared at the television screen for three hours.\nIt was later, in the afternoon, when I checked my phone messages that I felt...
Fatima and me.
When my head is in the right place at the right time, I like to explore. In 2003, I was in England for 6 months, and my head was in the right place at the right time. I did a lot of exploring in dialogue, especially Muslim-Jewish. I was studying at L...
