“Zeitouna is an effort by some people to approach what to the rest of the world appears to be an intractable problem… What Zeitouna has done is teach us that there are first steps. The first steps don’t solve the problem but they keep people in motion. Once people are in motion, they provide a model for others…” --- Richard Soble, Civil Rights Attorney
