The Sir Charles Clore Jewish-Arab Community Center, Acre, founded in 1990 owes much of what it is today, thanks to the vision and steadfast support of Dame Vivien Duffield and the Clore Israel Foundation. A home for coexistence in action, it is a unique model, affirming that alternatives DO exist to the ideology of separation and mistrust. The center is a leading force towards co-existence in Acre with increasing numbers of young Arabs and Jews participating in our empowerment, leadership and community development programs and activities. Our center is based on real people facing everyday concerns and aims to impact not only the local community, but the entire region, with its achievable message of peace and hope.
Director Mohammed Faheli has devoted his entire adult life working for Arab-Jewish coexistence in Acre, through the pursuit of the following:
