In a war-torn part of the world lies the School for Peace, founded by a Jew-turned-Catholic who put his beliefs into action. In the heart of Israel, between the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Father Bruno Hussar started this unique school and the village that surrounds it. Not surprisingly, the village is named "Neve Shalom-Wahat As-Salam," which translates into "Oasis of Peace," in Hebrew and Arabic, respectively.
Father Hussar's envisioned the Oasis of Peace as a place where Jews, Muslims, and Christians could live together in harmony, while breaking down misconceptions. The village's school spreads it message of peace to students, visitors, and others through workshops and lectures. In fact, 45,000 people have benefited from the School of Peace's education so far.
In an era where peace is hard to come by, Father Bruno has given the world a model of peaceful living that actually works.
