When I read that Hackney Council had voted to begin ending its twinning arrangement with Haifa, I couldn’t help wondering: why Haifa? Whatever your views on the wider Middle East conflict, Haifa has always felt different. It is probably Israel’s most multicultural city – a place where Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and Baha’is live alongside one another.

But if we’re looking for examples of what coexistence can…

During a lecture at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Idan’s mother, Eti Raz, spoke about her son’s life and legacy, mentioning that he had won first place in the Nadav Shoham Memorial “RoboTraffic” competition in 2014. The annual robotics contest is held at the Technion in partnership with the Ytek educational nonprofit, which works to reduce educational inequality. The lecture prompted Dr. Evgeny Kurtchnoy, director of the Technion’s Robotics Center, to search the university archives. There he located photographs and news coverage from the competition and made a surprising discovery: he himself had signed Idan’s winner’s certificate 12…
