A Big Felafel Exclusive: Unorthodox.

CNN World Report: Jerusalem’s YMCA Preschool
This week my piece for Israel21C on Jerusalem’s YMCA Preschool was on CNN World Report. It starts around 9 minutes. I love this show because it takes news stories from around the world to show what’s going on in those countries, as opposed to what the media thinks is...
