Coexistence : Tallit and Keffieh

Jean-Benoît Levy

Two similar shals, carrying two different ideologies are originated from the same region in Middle east. Friends before, those two religious entities have been torn down by the deformation of the historical filter of politics and are now in extreme difficulty to reconstruct a normal relationship. However inside of those two religions just like the same textile thread leans the essence of peace and reconstruction. Even their greeting sounds almost the same. Shalom Aleikhem and Salaam-Alaikum.
