    “It’s hard to film a miracle,” say Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon about their Academy Award-winning short film depicting the exceptional Bialik-Rogozin School in the heart of Tel Aviv. A second home to children from over forty-eight different countries, the school’s progressive and experimental program aims at acclimating recent immigrants (mostly non-Hebrew speaking) who have fled poverty and political adversity. Here, what sets the staff and teachers apart is their dedication to understanding each family and child’s individual situation — the idea that their responsibilities do not end at the sound of the bell but when no child feels like a stranger in Israel.
