Theatre, an International Language - in Acre the City of co-existence
We left the Galilee to Jerusalem and on our way we stopped in Acre. A city where Jews and Arabs are living together, an Ancient city and a new city.
In Acre we visited the temple of Baha Allah and the Gardens Baha gi
Lovely gardens, similar to the Bahai Gardens in Haifa. We saw some trees hundreds of years old, these trees 'saw' during their lifetime a lot of events including the founder of the Bahai religion who lived and was buried in Acre.
We visited the temple where he is buried, we were impressed by the simplicity and dignity of this place.
The Bahá'í religion talks about human unity.
To promote human unity, the following principles were set:
the abandonment of all forms of prejudice
assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men
recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth
the elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth
the realization of universal education
the responsibility of each person to independently search for truth
the establishment of a global commonwealth of nations
recognition that true religion is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge
First question: Is there anyone that these principles don't suit?
From there we continued theJewish-Arab theater in Acre.
There, an actor named Khaled gave us a theater workshop Including games designed to further lower the barriers of individual participants. Cooperation was full and there were many moments of laughter and relaxation and ease. At the end of the workshop spoke to us a resident of Acre that two of his brothers were killed during the Second Lebanon war from rockets. He shared with us great pain and insights that there's no room for hatred and revenge, but for cooperation based on humanity.
Second question: Are the people we met in Acre, a mixed city, treat the subject of co-existence in a different way ? from Tel Aviv citizens .

Third question: Could you feel the common Languages in Akko? Theater? Food?
Participants were given lunch money and they dispersed into Acre's special market and enjoyed its rich assortment.

After lunch we dealed with the question : who am I?
It took about 3 hours to reach Jerusalem . We dispersed to mama groups to conclude the summer trip so far. A large screen was spread out in the yard prior to broadcast of the final game of the World Cup. The boring game caused participants to go to their rooms to rest. The next day's activities will start before sunrise
