the idea to the central parents’ committee tonite. I’ve heard some
concern about some of the “heavier” issues being discussed with
younger children involved. I’m not sure what I think about that. As a
Jewish – Arab school with some fairly loaded issues, it more or less
requires an essential shift in the way people see things to have a truly open
space with first graders and political heavies in the same event. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Yoav – Sounds like a
lot of fun, and there is indeed some experience in the area. Some time ago in
Seattle (USA) one school began each year with an Open Space for everybody. All
the folks that you are talking about – and it turned out to be quite a
bunch, something like the 400 you are talking about. But everything seemed to
work just like usual. In fact it worked much better than things usually worked
at school. For one thing teachers actually talked to students and the students
reciprocated. Parents were involved, really involved. Not to mention the cooks,
custodians, security and administration. You should have a grand time and we
look forward to hearing the results. Only suggestion I have is to make sure you
have plenty of space. That many people, particularly active, vocal, young
people need a lot of space. And if the younger grades are involved (they should
be) you might think about having ½ hour to 45 min sessions. Attention spans are
on the short side, but the Law of Two Feet usually takes care of any problems.</span></font><span

In the holy space of Yom Kippur, toward the end of the full-day fast, as a
speaker reached the climax of a talk about the holiness of silence, believe it
or not, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>my</span></i> cellphone rang.
Understand, I run programs on human dignity and cellphone abuse is one of the
examples that come up as people explore the ways in which they abuse each
other’s space, and here I was, Dr. Dignity, forgetting to turn off before
entering the synagogue. If people had not been in a Yom Kippur-ish forgiving
mood, I would have been tarred and feathered!</span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>

happy to hear from folks who have done this sort of thing. I will be presenting
the idea to the school parents’ committee Wednesday, and I’m
thinking that we should go for inviting to the space all teachers, parents,
perhaps the older students (7-9<sup>th</sup> graders) and assorted additional
stakeholders. 450 kids learn thee, so it could be a big event. Any thoughts,
tips from people’s experience will be appreciated. Thanks much in
