Ittay Flescher

Education Director, Kids4Peace Jerusalem

Ittay is the Education Director at Kids4Peace Jerusalem. With over 20 years of teaching experience in both high schools and youth movements, Ittay believes deeply in the power of education to build empathy and understanding.

In 2025, Ittay published ‘The Holy and the Broken: A Cry for Israeli-Palestinian Peace from a land that must be shared,’ with HarperCollins Australia. The book tells the story of our work in Jerusalem, and imagines a future where faith, education and journalism are all directed towards building bridges of trust and resilience that acknowledge our shared humanity.

“Working with the Kids4Peace team is a huge privilege that allows me to learn from the many narratives of youth who are searching for ways to make the city of Jerusalem more fair, just, and equal for all. When there is so little hope, every time I enter our programs, I feel like I’m stepping into the future, a taste of what can be.”
