Younited’s Unique Commemoration

Despite intense loss and pain, our Younited community shines as a beacon of hope. As we marked a year since October 7th and the start of the war we witnessed the power of coming together in empathy. Sorrow was transformed into strength because they were marking it together – Arabs, Jews and internationals.

The memorial ceremony was a testament to the power of community. Students shared their stories, together honoring those lost from both sides of the conflict. The prayers in four languages and three religions were a reminder of the diverse tapestry of our community, uniting voices in a call for peace.

The interactive memorial space served as a somber yet necessary reminder of lives tragically cut short, ensuring they would not be forgotten. It was a moment to reflect on the cost of conflict, an invitation to remember the innocent who bear the brunt of violence.

In the Circle of Hope, we found solace and strength in our unity. Together, we reflected on our pain, solid in our collective determination to be part of a better future – one without war.

For more than seven decades, Givat Haviva has provided educational programs aimed at developing a just, equal, and inclusive society. In 2018, we created GHIS as an educational incubator to develop leaders for the future of our world, the Middle East, and Israel—to help move from competition and struggle between nations to a shared, egalitarian society that operates in peace.

GHIS students study the complexity of global conflicts, the differences, and the similarities between them. They learn that individual identity can exist while accepting the identity of the other, and that conflict can be transcended through greater mutual understanding.

Our school draws on the insights of the IB program and the experience of our students from around the world, and supplements it with conflict resolution knowledge accumulated over more than 70 years in Givat Haviva. With this formula a responsible cohort of young people is being created that will one day lead our shared society.

As CEO of Givat Haviva from 2012-2021, Yaniv was one of Israel’s primary leaders of shared society. In this role he created programs that promote these values and educate as many citizens as possible to the benefits of working together.

David joined GHIS because he was looking for the right educational establishment to develop personally and professionally. As soon as he heard about GHIS, he realized that it suits his values.

“As someone who has always been committed to coexistence in Israel, I see GHIS as a great vehicle to bring young people together in an accepting and non-prejudicial way.”

As well as being a teacher, David is also trained in special needs education at all school levels.

David holds a joint Honors B.Ed.  in Special Education ages 6 to 21, and BA in Literature at Oranim College
