Israel Friends of <strong>IDC</strong><br />

Open 2010 Activities with<br />

Glorious Trip to<br />

Nazareth by Night<br />

72 < <strong>IDC</strong> Winter 2010<br />

Subhi Tannous<br />

THERE WAS A BUZZ OF ANTICIPATION<br />

AS TWO BUSES LEFT THE GROUNDS<br />

OF <strong>IDC</strong> AND OVER 100 OF <strong>IDC</strong>’S MOST<br />

TREASURED ISRAEL FRIENDS WERE<br />

TAKEN TO NAZARETH FOR A MAGICAL<br />

EVENING SPONSORED BY SUBHI<br />

TANNOUS, DEVOTED FRIEND OF <strong>IDC</strong> AND<br />

AN INFLUENTIAL FIGURE WITHIN HIS<br />

COMMUNITY.<br />

on arrival, the guests were split into three groups, all led by local<br />

guides who introduced them to “Nazareth by night,” where they<br />

were able to experience the beauty of the architecture and paintings under<br />

a starlit sky.<br />

<strong>The</strong> guests then continued on to the magnificent home of the Tannous<br />

family, in Nazereth Illit, where a fairytale garden dinner was laid out for<br />

them and they enjoyed glorious hospitality by the whole Tannous family.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mayor of Nazareth Illit, Shimon Gapso, welcomed the guests to his<br />

town, while Subhi Tannous welcomed them to his home, reiterating the<br />

importance of Arab-Israeli coexistence. <strong>IDC</strong> Founder and President,<br />

Prof. Uriel Reichman, complimented the hosts for their generous<br />

and overwhelming hospitality, and the guests for always being such<br />

great supporters of <strong>IDC</strong>. <strong>The</strong> group went home with full stomachs and<br />

enchanting memories of the aesthetics of Nazareth by night.
