Starting a New Tradition at the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem
Last week, we had the honor of hosting 230 Ma'ayan Shahar High School students in Hadera. They joined us for a particularly moving ceremony—receiving their ID cards!
The event, held in a festive atmosphere, also included lighting the first Hanukkah candle.
The connection between receiving an ID card – a significant step toward full citizenship – and the Festival of Lights, symbolizing the power of faith and unity, deeply moved us and gave us all hope for a better future.
We thank the dedicated educational staff and the wonderful students who brought with them a youthful and inspiring spirit.
The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem will continue to serve as a home for meaningful and value-based encounters.
I wear many hats; a Druze hat, an Israeli hat, a medical hat,” says Prof. Salman S. Zarka, General Director of the Ziv Medical Center in Safed. “But instead of talking about how to separate them, my goal is to combine them.

The Vision
What we do
An "international embassy" for peace, the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem strengthens Israel's reputation across the world, while building bridges between diverse cultures and religions.
Under our "open tent," individuals from all walks of life will gather and enact change based on shared universal values. Together, they will challenge racism, antisemitism, discrimination, stereotypes, hatred, and acts of verbal and physical violence – and create a better tomorrow.

The Building
The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is a place where individuals from across the world gather, converse openly, and feel at home.
With its four open walls that fill the space with light, visitors immediately feel welcomed and at ease. The museum is in the shape of a dove, representing its pursuit of peace and hope for a better future. The building's focal point is the monumental crisscrossed staircase, emphasizing that true tolerance and understanding come from engagement, listening to one another, and immersing ourselves in others' perspectives.
Events
During the riots that broke out in May 2021 in the mixed cities, actors of Young Voices ensemble – Jewish and Arab teenagers – continued to come to the theater and created a play dealing with racism, deeply rooted in the tribes of Israeli society.
