A week after the flames licked its alleys and threatened to permanently destroy its delicate social fabric, Acre today (Tuesday) provides some optimism in the shadow of the tension.
And like quite a few events in recent days (and in recent years, to be honest), this optimism comes from the world of Israeli food.

Event "Restaurants for Peace" gathered Arab and Jewish food people at the "Uri Buri" restaurant, as well as the Mayor of Acre, Shimon Lankri, and the Chief Rabbi of the city, Yosef Yashar.
It is meant to highlight what has been darkened in recent violent days - human love and the sanctity of life - and to say the obvious again.
That is, Israeli restaurateurs from all sectors and religions refuse to be enemies and undertake to lovingly host every person regardless of religion, gender and race.

The restaurateurs, including Uri Yarmias himself, Haim Cohen, Said Abulafia and Ofra Ganor, signed a "peace and hope treaty" and continued from there with a joint march to Said's hummus in the local market.

The severe riots in Acre led to tremendous destruction in the territory of "Uri Buri", and quickly spread to other places in the area, including the luxurious "Efendi" hotel, also owned by Jeremias, and the "Mercato" restaurant. About 15 people were injured in the incidents, including an 84-year-old man who was seriously injured in a hotel fire and a police officer who broke his leg.
In an interview with Liat Ron on Radio North 104.5FM, Jeremiah provided another angle for the events. "I was inside the restaurant, masked men came and broke the windows. We thought it was over and in the meantime I got a message that they were trying to attack the hotel and I ran there," he recalled, "I saw at the hotel that it was already full of soot and burn marks and one guest was badly burned trying to get out."
Jeremiah recounted how he made sure to get all the tenants out, "and meanwhile I got a message that the restaurant was being burned. We called the fire department but they were delayed, and meanwhile I put out the fire myself with a rubber hose, only an hour and a half later the fire department arrived."
He said, "The damage is great but I am not angry, anger is inhibiting. I did not recognize the attackers because they were masked, but there are enough good people in Acre who came to lend a hand."
"Anger inhibits."

The difficult events in the city led prominent Arab chefs, including Abbas from the "Sahara Palace" restaurant in the village of Nin and Luna Zreik from the "Luna" restaurant in Nazareth, to address their followers on social media with a dramatic call for silence.
"Stop violence immediately, this is not the way. You are destroying the peace of us all," Abbas stressed.
"The last few days have been very tense and creating a difficult atmosphere on the streets of the country," Abbas began. "It is permissible to protest. It is a democratic right in a democracy. But violence is not the right way. Vandalism against innocent businesses is certainly not the way."
A few hours earlier, Zarik also referred to the events, and wrote on her Facebook page things in a similar vein - in Arabic and Hebrew: "Enough violence ... war ... incitement ... anarchy in the streets ... destroying everything", attacked, "Enough. "Khalas ... enough. Where are you flocking to? We will all pay a price together."
