On the second night of Hanukkah, Monday December 15th, Debate for Peace had a book reading celebration for “The Write Path II: Hope”. The Write Path II is now the second book published as an initiative of the Writers Matter project founded by Professor Bob Vogel, which has given a voice to students and teachers from all over Israel. The celebration was supported by the Bosch Alumni Network, and hosted at America Hub Israel in Jerusalem.


The event included candlelighting on a special Hanukkiah prepared at the Hub’s 3D printing center, followed by readings of poems, short stories and personal narratives by Jewish Israeli and Palestinian teens and teachers, a young writer from Bosnia-Herzegovina, young female writers in Gaza. The guests, who came from all over Israel, along with many other countries who joined via zoom, enjoyed a powerful and inspiring evening that brought light and hope through the spoken and written word. Congratulations to all of the writers, readers, and contributors to this wonderful initiative!
