THE YEAST OF DIALOGUE
. . .
from Piedmont to Europe and the Middle-East through the culture of bread !



 at Savigliano ~ Autumn 2007
And suddenly, bread became a symbol. . .

Sweet breads, woven breads, with walnuts, with raisins, with genuine love. The five senses awake for three days: the aromas, the customs of the foreign Countries that had come to give testimony of their traditions, of their roots. . . the music, the embraces.  The small jewel of Savigliano transformed into a great festivity of fragrances, of tastes, of friendly faces.

In the main square, in front of thousands of enthused people, the youngsters of Beresheet LaShalom gave one of their most beautiful performances.  Together on stage, the Theatre of  Truths and the Arcobaleno-Rainbow Theatre, junior and senior actors from 13 to 25 years old, of all colours and of all flavours.

We found ourselves before a public of extraordinary sensibility: sensitive to the sufferings and to the efforts of peace.  We met with local youngsters in schools, the untiring and dedicated organizers, people who made a thousand efforts to make our stay an unforgettable experience.

We were graciously received by the Mayor and the City Council and other prominent public figures including the Mayor of Turin, who arrived for the show.  The Region of Piedmont blessed us with a gift and on our last day we were hosted at the Thermal Baths of Vinadio, on the Cozie Alps bordering with France. . . yet another experience embedded in the heart and soul of each of our youngsters, hopelessly in love with Italy and its people!
