Witness the Change.
Israel's Jewish and Arab Palestinian citizens spend a lot of time hearing about each other, but rarely  from each other.  
Heart to Heart breaks down barriers and creates that opportunity for authentic conversation and meaningful dialogue.
It is a chance for participants to raise their voices and  learn to listen to "the other".
Now is your chance to  hear directly from our participants, alumni, parents, volunteers and staff.
