Together with Amirit Rosen, Rabbi Elkana Sherlo and Shayk Jamal Alubra, he talked about the importance of the dialogue, especially at the local level. The initiative of the Inter-religious Council of Southern Israel was presented as one of the steps in the process of achieving peace in the Middle East.

The meeting may be summarized by the words of one of the participants: "In a world shaken by violence and the lack of respect, Jews, Muslims and Christians need each other as friends and not as enemies. The world needs religions that call for peace and not for violence, revenge or exclusivity".

About 80 people participated in the meeting. Many of the students expressed their hope that the meetings of the representatives of the three monotheistic religions at the Department of Education will be continued.
