King David marimba band shown at Ben Gurion airport
A giant photograph of the King David Senior Primary School Linksfield marimba band will soon be exhibited as part of the “Hamsa on Us” photo exhibition in the departure hall at Ben Gurion Airport.
The photo was taken recently during a collaborative marimba band jam session between King David Senior Primary School Linksfield and Har Tuv Elementary School in Beit Shemesh, Israel.
It is one of the initiatives of the school twinning programme between King David and Har Tuv. This programme, under the auspices of the P2G framework of the Jewish Agency, has been running for a few years.
The exhibition, which opens in April, celebrates the 90th anniversary since the establishment of the Jewish Agency in 1929. It is led by Israeli President Reuven Rivlin through his flagship initiative “Israeli Hope”, as well as the Israel Vibe Organisation.
The photographs show the partnerships between different sectors of the community that represent the DNA of Israeli society. They aim to prove that there is strength in diversity, and that this diversity contributes to the vigour and success of Israel within different arenas, while at the same time, respecting all groups of people in the country, namely secular, religious and ultra-Orthodox Jews, Arabs, and Jewish communities living in the diaspora.
