Dove and the Olive Branch
Large Gold plated Pin - $105
Small Gold plated Pin - $85
Large Silver Pin - $85
Small Silver Pin - $60
Gold plated Cufflinks - $95

These distinctive and beautiful pins and cufflinks were created by Liat Hirshenson-Sternleib, a young Israeli designer who lost her two brothers five years apart as a consequence of the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On one hand the severed olive leaf and the dove represent her dreadful loss and the longing for her two brothers, and on the other, they symbolize the hope for a better future for her two daughters. The severed leaf shows the crack in relationships and the giving of hope, while the dove in flight illustrates optimism and the possibility of reconciliation.

Bowls from "Offering Reconciliation" exhibit
The "Offering Conciliation" Project, initiated by the Israeli Friends of the Family Forum presents to the public at large, the idea of reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians through Art.

Each one presents a unique offering of reconciliation, of peace and hope, Art instead of hostility.
