After opening in Or Akiva on September 11, 2003, the second annual children's art exhibit, sponsored by the Lapid Foundation, traveled to Miami and was shown at the Futernick Family Gallery of the Noreen and Steven Sablotsky Cultural Arts Center, located on the campus of the Dave and Mary Alper JCC in South Miami.
The Lapid Foundation was established in 2000 by friends and family of Vadim Nourzeits z"l. Vadim was one of the two Israeli soldiers that were brutally murdered in Ramallah in the beginning of October, 2000. He had emigrated from Russia seven years earlier, and lived with his pregnant wife, and parents, in Or Akiva. The Lapid Foundation's missions are to commemorate all victims of terror and to educate people about the international repercussions of terror. "Childhood Without Terror" is the second annual art exhibit organized by the foundation. Children from the Lerman Day School and participants in the MAR-JCC Youth Programs, most of the schools in Or Akiva, along with children in New York, Berlin, Prague, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv contributed to the exhibit.
The first "Children Against Terror" Exhibit was shown in Or Akiva, Jerusalem, Berlin, and Prague.
