Fostering interfaith interactions through the initiative ‘Saving Children’
Lara Portnoy speaks about a program started by the Peres Center for Peace called ‘Saving Children’ and its success in fostering interfaith interactions.
The Peres Center for Peace was founded by former Israeli President Shimon Peres in 1996. The
organization is focused on developing and implementing innovative and cutting-edge peacebuilding
programs. Lara Portnoy speaks about a successful program called Saving Children which brings
children from Gaza and the West Bank into Israel for life saving medical treatment. The parents of
sick Palestinian and Israeli children meet and bond over the experience. Lara Portnoy states that she
would like to see more interfaith work being promoted on a governmental level.
