Kybernetika v mezináboženském dialogu. Její aplikace při zakládání Neve Šalom – Wahat al-Salam, jediného židovsko-palestinského sídliště v Izraeli
Cybernetics in Inter-religious Dialogue: Its Application by Founding of Neve Shalom – Wahat al-Salam, the only Jewish-Palestinian Settlement in Israel

Summary/Abstract: Cybernetics, as a science about information, can be applied in any system where there is a need to better describe its function and optimize its performance. How the vision of a Catholic priest of Jewish origin, Bruno Hussar OP, was supported by a cybernetic approach and introduced into the guidelines of a new settlement called Neve Shalom in Hebrew, Wahat al-Salam in Arabic, or Oasis of Peace, is presented in the paper. A cybernetics application was first introduced into theology by the dean of a clandestine theological faculty under communism, Felix Maria Davídek from Brno, Czech Republic. In the 1970’s, some of his students studied in Israel and participated in the foundation work of Neve Shalom, a common unit of people from Israeli society, the Jewish majority and Israeli Arabs (Muslims and Christians). To date, Neve Shalom is the only settlement in Israel where 50 Jewish and Arabic families share a community and their children attend primary school together.
