Israel is a country where many different communities live side by side. What do we know about our neighbours, their lives and customs? What problems do different minorities face? What solutions do they choose, and why? Russian-language media provide very little information about life in other sectors of the country. As a rule, we read about them only in crime reports or during conflicts and confrontations.

Is it time to lift the curtain and learn a little more about those with whom we live and work on the same land?
