Israel tragically lost a brave, creative Israeli-Arab educator on Friday, when Dr. Dalia Fadila drowned off the Herzliya beach. When we ran our podcast with Dalia almost two years ago, listeners were deeply moved. Many readers and listeners have joined us since then, so today, we are re-running that interview, providing access to everyone.
Dalia was a remarkable person whom I had the pleasure to experience several years ago when I had invited her to speak to our Jewish community in Springfield, MA, via IATF and our Jewish Federation. All who attended, including two young Israeli Emmissaries, (who were initially very suspicious of her) were duly impressed with her passion, compassion, enthusiasm, and brilliance in her mission to raise the standard of Israeli Arabs to successfully participate and compete in Israeli society. No doubt she will leave a big void. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. This was such devastating news.
What a terrible, terrible loss. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
What a terrible tragedy to have lost such a forward thinking Israeli Arab of her stature!
What a sad and significant loss is her passing, for israeli society in general and the arab community. An incredible woman.
