Empowering the families of special-needs children: A 5-minute video that looks at the work of Keren Malki The video below is the outcome of a Summer 2010 plan by our generous and wonderful friends at Keren Malki UK to widen the circle of people who know about, and give their support to, Keren Malki. Please take a moment to share in the effort by passing a link to this page along to the people in your circle. (There is a Hebrew-captioned version here.) Special thanks to Nir Alon whose photographs so graphically and emotionally capture the experience that is at the heart of what Keren Malki aims to do for the special-needs children we support. And our great gratitude to the team at Inspire; to Juliet Errington and Daniel Mann and the volunteers of the Keren Malki UK committee; and to Rachel Oakes without whose support and technical expertise the video would not have been possible to make.

The Hebrew-captioned version is here.

Malki's Legacy Created in 2008 by Nir Alon, a multi-talented Jerusalem creator of film and still-photography images, this ten-minute video is subtitled "The story of hate inflicted death nurturing love and giving, nurturing life". It is framed by an interview with an Israeli family (speaking Hebrew but with English captions) whose special-needs son has benefited from intensive therapies funded in part by Keren Malki. Interspersed with views of the family in conversation are delightful pictures, taken by Nir Alon, of some of the many hundreds of special-needs children helped by Keren Malki via its Right to Nurture program.

Remembering Malki and Michal: JNF Australia produced this moving memorial to Malki and her friend Michal Raziel in 2001. The short film is based on a video produced by Malki and Michal's girlfriends at the time of the Shloshim (30 day) memorial which took place in Jerusalem on what turned out to be a doubly momentous date: September 11, 2001. The scenes of teenage girls eulogizing their two murdered friends were recorded at that memorial.

From the Barbarians' Standpoint: In September 2001, the student union at Nablus' An-Najah (sometimes called Al-Najah) University saw fit to 'honor' the great achievement of the Sbarro massacre - and the fifteen dead Jews - with a replica of the Sbarro restaurant. The disgusting reality of that 'celebration' is something that must never be forgotten. It provides an insight into the mentality of Hamas, its co-conspirators and the thugs who support them.
