Dreams and Resilience

Their children went to the local high school, and they enjoyed deep-rooted relationships with neighbors, doctors, and local shop owners. They stripped the apartment to its basics, preserving only the mandatory Israeli security room, known locally as the ‘mammad,’ thus setting the stage for their envisioned space.

Enduring Beauty
