Why?
"We can’t be what we can’t see."
"A little dot of hope dispels a lot of darkness."
Amid seemingly endless conflict, Arab and Jewish communities struggle with hopelessness, powerlessness, and mistrust.
Yet, even now, there are extraordinary people and organizations who see beyond division. Those who embody both/and, not either/or.
Those who aren’t just hoping for change—they’re shaping it.

We started Lumiflies because we refused to let hopelessness win. Like fireflies in the night, we are Hope in Action.
By fostering connection, action and deep empathy, Lumiflies unites individuals, builds trust and cultivates hope for Arabs, Jews and all who recognize the inherent right of both peoples to exist and flourish.
Together, let’s light up the darkness.
