As someone who has worked with all of the volunteers sent by the German agency ARSP (Action Reconciliation Service for Peace) to work at Project Ezra over the last 30 years, I want to thank Sandee Brawarsky for accurately portraying the important collaboration between our two organizations in her article last week, “From Berlin To Eritrea To The Lower East Side.” I believe that this has been a mutually beneficial experience, enriching both our Jewish elders as well as the German teenagers, and Brawarsky captures it perfectly.
