- "The idea behind Peace Oil is cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians on a person to person level. Oil from Kibbutz Gezer is mixed with oil from Ata's grove in his West Bank village, to produce a tasty product that in a small way promotes peace. Through our economic cooperation, we have gotten to know each other and develop a relationship we would otherwise have never developed."

"Tu Tu Tu B'shevat children's song
This is an original children's song celebrating Tu B'shevat, the birthday of the trees. This simple song is a favorite of preschoolers who enjoy all the action lyrics -- clapping, stomping, planting, growing, swaying, etc. The song is part of the "Gan Shirim (A Garden of Songs") double-CD written and produced by Carol Boyd Leon and published by KTAV Publishing House in 2004."
