We were extremely touched by the wonderful 8th grade teacher, Alisheva Kronman, at "Amit" middle school in Be'er Sheva, who screened Operation Wedding for her pupils and also provided them extensive background information. The 14 year-old students, whose parents were mostly from the Former Soviet Union, responded enthusiastically to the film and even created a poster in Hebrew in honor of Operation Wedding.
