A Very Special Thanks to the People who made this Experience possible in the Holy Land

The Wonderful People at the US Embassy -- It was not an officially sponsored project by the embassy, but Molly and friends worked their connections to make this mural possible.

Zipi Mazrichi  -- a Jewish artist and Molly connection, Zipi knew the school that most needed this mural.

Principal, Staff, and Students at The Painter's House School  -- I was so very welcomed by one and all.   Some spoke perfect English, some not at all.  Regardless of their level of communication, I was so grateful to work among them.

Eitan --  principal of The Painter's House School and answer to all of my needs while in Jerusalem.
    
Shelly, Itay, and Naama  -- kindred artists and art teachers who welcomed me so graciously.

Eitan and Yona along with their families --  who welcomed a stray American artist into their homes for Shabbat on Friday night and then Saturday afternoon.

Yoni  -- who helped so very much with the mural and then brought his parents for a visit to my wall.

Israel Hanady -- Israeli artist and father of Yoni, who gave me a personal walking tour of the Old City Jerusalem.

Zipi Mazrachi -- for a very personal tour of Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial.

Omar -- owner of the most beautiful art gallery in Jerusalem, perhaps all of Israel, and even the entire planet.
