An Enchanted City is a ground-breaking program created by the Tower of David Museum that promotes tolerance among children from a very young age. Geared towards Jewish, Muslim and Christian kindergarten children, the program focuses on the special character of Jerusalem which makes it magical for all children. An original fable tells about an enchanted city and emphasizes that children who do not share the same language, customs or religion, in fact share much more than they realize. By focusing on the similarities as well as the differences among them, the children become aware that they share common ancestors and roots.
This pilot program was created with the support of the Jerusalem Foundation. With help from supporters of the Museum, we hope to expand the program to include children throughout the city. The program is also being tailored for religious and secular kindergartens to foster tolerance among them.
