David - Thank you! As a member of the New York-based board of The American Friends of the Umm el-Fahem Museum of Contemporary Art (what we hope will be the future of the Umm el-Fahem Gallery), I am very appreciative of your presentation of the Gallery. We hope that visitors to the Ein Harod Museum's exhibit of Said's and the other Abu Shakra family artists's work will be blown away by the talent displayed and the significance implied. And we also hope visits to the museum will be followed by visits to the Umm el-Fahem Gallery by those who have not yet been there. I look forward to following your blog.

Thanks for Sharing your perspective. The galery is indeed a leading meeting point for Jews and Arabs in the wadi ara region, along with “Bridge over the valey” bilingual school in Kufur Qara. This, beside its impact on Arab society in UEF and its neighbors. I will deffinitly visit the exhibition in Ein Harod.
