and Tova: thanks much for all your warm messages and support. It's a privilege
for me to have the opportunity to spread my message to you and all those who
care about the future of the peoples here or any people who live under
conflict. I truly feel touched by the powerful feedbacks and readiness to start
acting and making a difference on the ground.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt"></span></font></font></p>

thanks to Harrison, Tova and Avner who showed me the way it works 10 years ago.
I found it to be one of the most powerful and insightful tools I ever used to
facilitate meaningful dialogues, to plan activities and to engage in deep work
processes among the conflicting groups. I don't write usually to the group to
inform them about the OS work here but be sure that OS is very popular now
among the many many groups and organizations I work with. In my TEDx talk I
spoke briefly about working with these groups but my main focus in was on to
show the way how people can move from talking to acting by brining live
examples from Israelis and Palestinians I work with. I focused on bringing
their experiences of crossing the emotional and physical borders which often
humans put to protect themselves from the other. I have brought my personal
story of crossing borders and knowing all the "other" who is
different..</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt"></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">

</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">As you all, practicing OS for the past 10 years
have contributed tremendously in my work with conflict groups, towards more
understanding and trusting the "other", to move from dialoguing <span> </span>to the acting even in the most unknown and
unfamiliar situations, it helped me to support the activists part in each one
of the participants of these groups. There are many examples and stories that I
wish to write to you but for now I would like to thank you all for the years of
practice, of sharing your wisdom with me and for making a difference. Thank
you!</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">
