narrated by Claire Bloom. In 2009 and 2010, the film was broadcast on PBS. In conjunction with the Anti-Defamation League, Podwal began ''The Jerusalem Sky Project'', a program that fosters tolerance and awareness by bringing together young children from the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian communities. Participating religious schools study Podwal's ''Jerusalem Sky'' in their classrooms, and then encourage their students to illustrate their own depictions of Jerusalem. Amidst the learning, the children of each school write to or meet with their counterparts at a school of another faith and begin to learn about each other's religion and culture. After a few weeks, the program culminates with an exhibition of all of the drawings from each of the schools. At the opening of the exhibition, the children meet to enjoy each other's art and company.
