200 Supporters Gather in Los Angeles for 4th of July Barbecue    

The kids had a ball bouncing in the “jumper” and splashing in the wading pool. Fantastic fireworks! Wonderful to have Palestinians, Israelis, Christians, Jews and Muslims, and just plain old Americans, all in one big GET-TOGETHER!

 

Our Palestinian contingent suggested that we make this an Annual Party. So, thanks to everyone who came and everyone who helped with the First Annual 4th of July Middle East Party!  

Recently, Israeli volunteers gave many workshops on The Way to Happiness booklet, including: one of the biggest law firms in Tel Aviv; a ham radio operator’s association with members aged 20 to 80; a bank; the Welfare Department of Tel Aviv; military units; the Israeli Ministry of Education and many, many schools. Over 50,000 Israelis, mostly children, have participated in the workshops in the last two years. Workshops are given in both Hebrew and Arabic.  

 

 

Comments by Workshop Participants and Readers 

 

“I would like to receive a copy of the booklet and I would also like to give copies to my friends. It is a booklet with really good values. In my opinion, it is something international, non-religious and non-political, non-racial and really the best. Thank you!”-- Hadar

“I got a new attitude to look ahead and got things to pass on to my soldiers.”

“It is clear to me that I shouldn’t hit and use violence.” – school child

“I learned that my actions influence my surroundings.”

“People eat it up like hot rolls. I thank you very much from all my heart.” - Yakov

Shuki Mizrahi, President of the Israeli chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation, Speaking About the Workshops

 

      “This week I covered 1,100 kilometers [over 680 miles] for The Way to Happiness. And met about 100 men and women. I gave out 650 booklets… Today an officer invited us to conduct a workshop for the staff of NCOs [officers] on a base in the center of the country. The group included 8 female soldiers and 2 males.”

 

     After one school participated in the workshops, the principal was interviewed on an Arabic radio station. Shuki, the volunteer who delivered the workshops wrote, “To support his way of handling problems and conflicts, the principal said, ’We hold workshops with the Association for Security and Prosperity in the Middle East [The Way to Happiness chapter] on the specific subject of violence and The Way to Happiness.’ “

 

“It is important to know that we are making a difference….

 

     “…We are bringing happiness, peace, flourishing and prosperity to the Middle East. And when we are through here, we will be happy to help out in other areas all over the world, and we will continue until the whole planet is so happy that it radiates off – reaching other forms of life and then we will start handling them, too! Wow! There is a lot to do, a lot of responsibity.

 

     “I’m in the game, who else is?

 

    “Thank you to all our contributors, friends and group members. Lots of love and admiration for the job you are doing.” – Shuki Mizrahi
