Halevi says he is seeking "to start the first public conversation between an Israeli writer and our neighbors about who we are, why we see ourselves as indigenous to this land, and what is our shared future in the region." He is making Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor available for free download in Arabic and he has invited Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims to write to him in response to the book in order to initiate a dialogue. He "may publish the exchanges as a sequel."[1] [2] [3]
Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor received positive reviews.

In its first week of publication, the book made it to The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction.[5]
