If you haven't already checked them out, they have a wealth of material, although some of it is pretty old. When I was teaching Hebrew school and nursery school I often found lessons and ideas I could adapt to the needs of my class.

[ha-Safran]: Dictionary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Shalom. Regarding Ms. Rapp's query, I am unfamiliar with this work but asked a colleague at our library, who is our collection development librarian for the Middle East, about it.
