A propos de cet article

[10], iv, 263, [3] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: To Wendy & SVF--With thanks. Shalom! Sarah. Sarah Kreimer has been a pioneer of social justice and equal rights for Arabs and Jews in Israel for thirty-six years. In 1988, she founded The Center for Jewish-Arab Economic Development, which she co-directed with an Israeli Arab colleague to catalyze economic cooperation between Jews and Arabs within Israel and in the Middle East. Her dedication and initiatives made her the recipient of the 2002 Award of the Speaker of the Knesset for Contributing to the Quality of Life in Israel. This book is a must for those who care about Jewish-Arab relations in Israel. When the second intifada broke out in 2000, Sarah Kreimer, a native Pittsburgher who had been living in Israel for about 20 years, said it felt as if the country was in flames. From her perspective, the success of the last several years of her work trying to foster connections between Israelis and Arabs was also going up in flames. People who had previously been willing to work with one another no longer wanted to. They "just would not see each other," she said. In her own personal form of coping, Kreimer began to write - as she put it recently, "in a crisis of trying to understand what to do next." "We have not yet figured out how it is that we should be sharing this piece of land. I chose to do it by telling my story and the stories of so many people.who have done wonderful and brave things," she said of the book that took her nearly a decade to complete. Kreimer's book, "Vision and Division in Israel," follows her 40 years of activism in Israel, weaving her autobiography with the history of the country, including bombings and violent uprisings, a new economic venture, a battle with cancer and countless partnerships. As Kreimer tells it, she moved to Israel with the intent of staying for only two years. She signed up to work with an organization called Interns for Peace that brings volunteers into Jewish and Arab towns to help create connections among citizens and promote collaboration. She and her colleagues had been successful at pairing schools in the neighboring Jewish and Arab towns for programs that allowed the students to work and play together. They were in the midst of planning an end-of-the-year gathering when war with Lebanon broke out. Nearly every school in the Jewish town decided to cancel the program, except one. Students from that school still came together with their partners in the Arab town for a day of singing, acting, eating and celebrating. "It was such a moving and meaningful event, and it was at that point, I said this is not magic.This is hard work and it doesn't happen with everybody," she said. "At that point, I decided to stay in Israel and continue working in this field." After a brief stint back in Pittsburgh, Kreimer returned to Israel to focus on improving workplace relations, industry opportunities and economic equality first through Interns for Peace and then through her own nonprofit, the Center for Jewish-Arab Economic Development. The Center, which she founded in 1987, operated under the idea that inequalities against Arab citizens would only harm Israel's economy as a whole. As the Center worked to create more collaboration within Israel, it also encouraged international partnerships to advance Israel's economy. In 1994, it brought the first Jordanian business delegation to the country, a group from the textile industry, for a conference and a fashion show. The experience, Kreimer said, made her realize just how close citizens from both countries lived. "It would be as if there was a neighboring country on the other side of the Monongahela," she explained. "You look at them your whole life and you've never been able to go there." The Center continued to build economic partnerships, hosting similar festivals for the technology, plastics and food industries. Through working wit.…
