  1. This conversation clearly expresses the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. No peace can exist without empathy and understanding between combatants. That goal seems almost unattainable because of the current conflict. Jeff Halper and Hazel Kahan were excellent in their shaping of the conversation.

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
