In 1998, when Adi Altschuler was 12, she decided, like many Israeli preteens, to spend some of her time volunteering for her community. She contacted an NGO that serves children with physical disabilities, and began mentoring Kobi Kfir, a 3-year-old with cerebral palsy. It was a life-changing relationship: Never before acquainted with children with special needs, Adi suddenly realized how many privileges she had taken entirely for granted were not available to her disabled peers. At 16, she decided to address that problem... Читать дальше...

For the team behind the camera—director Susanna Fogel and her co-writer David Iserson—a blockbuster action comedy was new territory.

This weekend, a delegation of senior Hamas officials from the West Bank and elsewhere was allowed into Gaza to confer with the terror group’s leadership there, a highly uncommon step designed to help facilitate a ceasefire with Israel.
