Introduction

Dear Friends,

As in previous years, we are pleased to present you with the Jewish Agency Companies Report for 2018 which summarizes the broad range of activity of our companies and reflects the high level of involvement of Jewish Agency companies in the Israeli economic and social scenes.

We continue to present this report digitally in order to make it as easily accessible as possible and provide wide exposure to the important work of Jewish Agency companies.

The goal of synergy and cooperation among the various companies and with the Jewish Agency units continues to guide us in order to present a unified front in face of the challenges with which we are dealing. In recent years the Jewish Agency subsidiary companies have become an integral part of the institution and serve to enhance the position of the Jewish Agency in the Israeli marketplace, and of this we are proud.

I'd like to take this is an opportunity to thank all our partners in these endeavors and we look forward to coming years of challenges and achievements.

Yours,

Arieh Abir Head of the Companies Bureau

Amigour Founded in 1972

The Amigour housing company operates throughout the country. It is the leading company in Israel in the area of sheltered housing (7,000 residents) and the second largest in the field of public housing (11,000 units). In recent years, the company has become a leader in the field of security rooms and residential bomb shelters.

The goals of the company focus on providing housing solutions for those in need, especially new immigrants, senior citizens and Holocaust survivors. Since its establishment, the company has provided more than 60,000 housing solutions to these populations. Approximately 70% of the residents of Amigour’s 57 senior citizen homes are Holocaust survivors.

The Jewish Agency, led by its Finance Unit and Assets Management Division, together with Amigour, conducted negotiations with the Government of Israel, and on December 31st 2015, an agreement was signed for the construction of approximately 2,650 units of low-cost public housing for seniors and others in need. This project is in collaboration with the United Israel Appeal, Jewish Federations of North America and United Israel Appeal Canada. The construction of the units is being carried out by Amigour, as will be the ongoing rental and maintenance management. The agreement constitutes a dramatic addition to public housing offerings in Israel. This addition will significantly ease the process of receiving public housing for those who qualify and will shorten the existing queue. This is an additional step toward equal opportunity and social justice within Israeli society. In 2017, the construction of some 180 units began on Derech Hashalom St. in Tel Aviv and in January 2018 construction has begun of 471 units in Ashkelon. During the course of 2019, the construction of 800-1000 additional units is expected to begin in Ashdod, Beersheva, Herzliya, Netanya, Rehovot and Tel Aviv, subject to permits.

Management Agreement with the Government – Amigour signed a management agreement with the Government for the management of public housing apartments transferred to state ownership. Without such a management agreement, there was a threat that the Government would transfer the management of the apartments to the government-owned public housing company and Amigour would lose its core business. The public housing management agreement ensures a steady economic basis for Amigour’s activities. This agreement demonstrates the government’s recognition of Amigour’s capabilities. The Government of Israel has stated it would implement the option of extending the management agreement for another two years and has announced its intention to negotiate on the subsequent management agreement and finalize the negotiations sometime in 2019.

Nursing Homes – Amigour runs nine wards in two nursing homes, providing nursing care for 324 seniors who are eligible for this. These nursing homes offer some of the highest standards in the country, and their construction helps to provide a solution for the severe shortage of such facilities, particularly in the north of the country.

The Jewish Agency, through Amigour, is providing solutions to the large demand for seniors housing and nursing facilities in the area north of Haifa.

Project Renewal - Project Renewal is considered one of the leading social projects in Israel aimed at bringing about social change in the weaker neighborhoods and towns. After many years of hiatus, the Ministry of Construction and Housing decided to allocate significant resources to carrying out renovations in entire neighborhoods around the country. In this framework, Amigour has renovated 2222 apartments in the cities of Migdal Haemek, Ofakim, Sderot, Netivot, Ashkelon and Nahariya.

Renovations of Public Housing in Cooperation with "Ayalim" – The Ministry of Construction and Housing is running a social project through Amigour in cooperation with the Ayalim non-profit association, for renovating public housing buildings for the benefit of residents, many of them Holocaust survivors. In this framework, 500 units have already been renovated along with the surrounding public areas in Sderot, Ofakim, Kiryat Ata and Migdal Ha'emek. The project is set to expand to additional cities around the country.

Amigour is highly esteemed by a range of government ministries that have entrusted it to handle various issues on their behalf. These include the Ministries of Defense, Housing, Absorption and Finance.

On behalf of The Jewish Agency, Amigour is at the forefront of meeting Israeli society’s needs in times of emergency and on an ongoing basis.

Beit Hatfutsot Founded in 1978

Established in 1978, the Museum of the Jewish People at Beit Hatfutsot has the status of "National Center for Jewish Communities in Israel and Around the World", by a 2005 Knesset law. Over the past decade, Beit Hatfutsot has turned its attention to the central, existential challenge facing the Jewish People today – a growing disconnect of many young Jews from the diverse global Jewish family, a personal sense of Jewish belonging and a connection to Israel. In response to this growing crisis, Beit Hatfutsot has launched an ambitious renewal process: in 2016, the museum's New Wing opened (Phase I), and the new Core Exhibition (Phase II) will be completed by the end of 2019. The new Core Exhibition will inspire all visitors to connect and interact with the achievements, history and values of the Jewish People. Utilizng cutting-edge design and technology to showcase a vision of Jewish life that is diverse, accessible and engaging, and connecting visitors with a personal sense of their identity, roots and connectedness, the new Core Exhibition will comprise three wings - Identity and Culture: the diverse forms of Jewish culture in modern times and the contribution Jews have made to global civilization and culture; Global Jewish History: the full historical narrative of global Jewry and the evolution of Jewish faith, thought and creativity; Foundations of Jewish Life: Jewish practices, beliefs and traditions; the intertwined relationship between the Land of Israel, the Bible story, the Jewish calendar and the Jewish lifecycle.

Exhibits on display in the New Wing: Hallelujah! Assemble, Pray, Study – Synagogues Past and Present: this permanent exhibit is a new presentation of the museum's 21 famous synagogue models from around the world, in an interactive multimedia zone, exploring the role of the synagogue as a place of prayer, study and community in Jewish life – yesterday, today and in the future. Heroes – Trailblazers of the Jewish People: an interative exhibit in the Family Gallery presenting 140 Jewish heroes from the past and present, in a fun-filled, engaging, interactive environment. Let there be Laughter: an exhibit which celebrates the diversity and vitality of Jewish humor and explores how elements of Jewish humor have remained constant regardless of time, place and language. Cutting- edge interactive stations allow visitors to have their say about what makes them laugh.

Other exhibits and installations: Capturing History: the Photography of Chim: a retrospective on the life and work of Chim, one of the greatest photojournalists of the first half of the 20th century and founder of Magnum Photos, with long- time friends and prominent photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa. Chim took portraits of leaders, artists and intellectuals that appeared in the world’s leading magazines. His depictions of the Spanish Civil War, Europe devastated by World War II, and the first years of the State of Israel helped form the collective memory of the twentieth century. Operation Moses – 30 Years After: a multi-media exhibit telling the story of the Ethiopian Jewish community's aliyah to Israel, through the life stories of people who lived through the hardships of the journey to Israel and their integration into Israeli society. I'm Ready My Lord – a video installation in memory of Leonard Cohen: based on the song "You Want it Darker", this video display consists of excerpts from a documentary prepared by Canadian television in 1964 and footage of Israeli musicians listening to the song performed by Leonard Cohen in the background.

Also at Beit Hatfutsot: The Koret International School for Jewish Peoplehood: Beit Hatfutsot's in-house educational center, providing both learning opportunities and pedagogy training for Jewish youth, IDF officers and soldiers, educators and leaders. The Koret School develops varied innovative methodologies for instilling consiousness of Jewish Peoplehood and Jewish identity. The School's programs involve over 150,000 participants from Israel and around the world annually, in formal and informal educational programming.

The Andrew H. And Ann R. Tisch Center for Jewish Dialogue: a physical space and virtual platform that encourages ongoing dialogue about the critical issues at the heart of Jewish life today, ensuring that every legitimate voice in the Jewish world is heard. The Center offers events, conferences and seminars, and expands and informs the museum's current activities and educational programs in Israel and abroad.

BH Online: five extensive databased containing information about Jewish genealogy, music, photos, films and items relating to Jewish communities in the past and present. The Open Databases Project has made the vast array of genealogical and historical information kep in the museum's archives accessbile to the public through the Internet.

Ben Yakir Youth Village

Ben Yakir Youth Village was established 73 years ago as a home for young Holocaust refugees. It later became an agriculture yeshiva, and in the mid 70's, opened its gates to young immigrants from USSR and later on from Ethiopia.

In the school year 2016-2017, there were 90 young men living in the village, ages 14-18, most defined as 'youth at risk' by the Ministry of Welfare and Ministry of Education.

They come from homes that suffer from a low socio economic profile, homes where the parents cannot function as responsible adults and many times suffer from lack of capability to provide a permanent income. That been said, all of Ben Yakir's students have the mental and cognitive abilities and are healthy in body and soul.

67% of Ben Yakir students are of Ethiopian origin, 78% of them were born in Ethiopia and immigrated to Israel, sometimes leaving parents and other family members behind. 89% of the student's households suffer from poverty and receive support, 11% of the students attended three and more school before joining Ben Yakir, 8th graders included. 40% of the students smoke or drink alcohol on a regular basis. The boys are referred to the village by the Ministry of Welfare and the Ministry of Education, by social workers in the community and lately by the word of mouth.

The youth village has a life of its own. There is a middle school in the village and a growing high school, a dining room, a synagogue, a therapeutic center, a clinic and dental clinic, an animal farm, an educational green house and an administrative building.

The challenges of the 21st century, and the unique educational challenges of these times, led to the opening of a high school in collaboration with the Israeli Air Force. The students study electricity and electronics, graduate with a technical matriculation diploma and an assistant electrician diploma and enlist in the air force as part of aircraft crew. This way, the students gain life opportunities they would not have had otherwise.

Being an educational and therapeutic village, Ben Yakir's staff is a combination of educational figures and therapy professionals. The boarding school staff includes an experienced manager with a rich and full background in different roles in boarding schools, a team of young and enthusiastic counselors, a housemother, soldiers and national service volunteers.

The therapeutic staff includes social workers, a clinical psychologist and an educational psychologist, a nurse, an animal therapist, horseback riding therapists and other therapy personal. The head of therapy in Ben Yakir is an experienced social worker who is in charge of the whole unit and also has certain hours dedicated to boarding school staff.

The afternoons in Ben Yakir are full of excitement. the students enjoy a rich extracurricular program that includes sports classes (soccer, basketball, bicycle riding, hikes, gym workouts and more); art classes,

music lessons (small organ, choir, guitar) and science activities (marine science, nature studies). In addition to the many activities in the village, a group of students also enjoys going to various courses in different locations nearby, where they meet young men and women their age, swim, dance and study together, and interact as equals.

Quoting the vision of Ben Yakir: "The youth village will serve as a warm and loving home to its students, and give them a safe and optimal environment. The village will combine technology studies and agricultural education, in order to empower them and push them to success in every field. Ben Yakir's foundation will lay on democratic values, Zionism and Jewish tradition values".

Board of directors: The following are the company’s directors: Benny Levin (Chair), Amizur Bar, Yaron Ben Lessen, Miki Dahav, Nina Glasman, Emanuel Grupper, Amir Gutman, Hina Koren, Nir Lahav, Natan Metuki, Lea Rosenberg, Elvira Voloshin, Hagit Weiss, Dana Zaks. All the above were appointed by the Jewish Agency.

Daroma Tzafona Idan He’Atid Founded in 2007

DaromaTzafona – Strengthening Israel's Periphery, One Business at a Time

DaromaTzafona's mission is to bring about socioeconomic change to the Negev and the Galilee.

The company focuses on the industrial business sector, with emphasis on small and medium sized businesses involved in export which serve as significant economic growth engines for these regions. Assistant DaromaTzafona was set up by several Israeli industrialists and philanthropists led by Mr. Eitan Wertheimer, who serves as company chairman, in cooperation with The Jewish Agency. Company activity is funded almost entirely from contributions from the owners and the Jewish Federations of North America through The Jewish Agency.

What began in 2003 as a company charged with developing strategic plans for the Galilee -- plans which were subsequently turned over to the government -- moved on at the end of 2007 to be a program for small and mid-size businesses, involving loans, management monitoring, business training and consulting programs.

The company pursues a policy of oversight and measurement of the impact of its activity. Company staff regularly visit the businesses to gather data, and these visits serve to measure the economic health of the business, identify major difficulties and explore possibilities of additional support.

The company is involved in close to 600 businesses in Israel's periphery. Over 480 of them received loans in a total amount of $260 million and they employ in total over 17,600 workers and have a total annual turnover of $2.2 billion, 30% of that in exports. The businesses report an annual growth of 3%-6% in their businesses activities since DaromaTzafona was involved, much higher than the conventional growth average in this sector.

DaromaTzafona employs 4 people and their main offices are located at Mahanayim in the Upper Galilee region and a southern office at Nir Am (Gaza periphery).

Board of Directors: The following are the company’s directors: Jewish Agency representatives on the board: Moshe Ashirie, Becky Caspi, Alan Hoffmann, Leah Golan. Others: Eitan Wertheimer (Chair), Annie Abutbul, Tal Dilian, Nir Gilad.

“Young Communities” programs

Ketzev – young communities and businesses. Ketzev creates social-activism businesses in Israel’s geographic and cultural peripheries, thereby creating economic opportunity and widening the circle of impact of social activism. Ketzev provides Young Communities and groups of young adults grants, lessons in business and entrepreneurship, mentorship, connections with sources of initial funding, introductions to potential partners, and other support services. 58 social businesses have taken part in the program so far, affecting the lives of more than 5,800 people and reaching 174,000 people in a broader circle.

Choosing Tomorrow encourages promising college students, particularly those who grew up in Israel’s geographic and social peripheries, to commit to remaining in those vulnerable areas after graduation to become agents of change. The participants work together to build local program initiatives. 194 students are participating in the program this year, leading more than 58 social initiatives that affect the life's of more than 2,900 people.

Click: supporting social initiatives. The Click fund provides a flexible, efficient platform through which independent young Israeli social activists (one person or very small groups of partners) can receive micro-grants of $1,000 to $2,000 to initiate community-service programs. After a careful screening process, young people with sound, detailed plans, especially those working toward socioeconomic improvement in Israel’s geo-cultural peripheries, receive seed funding and mentorship, meet regularly, and learn organizational principles. The projects and programs supported by Click are varied, and include activities in education, environmentalism, the arts, and economic development. 48 initiatives have taken part in the program so far, affecting the lives of 2,400 people.

Youth Centers Part of the new "Project Renewal" - the vision of this program is for youth to actively take responsibility for their future and for the community and serve as agents of change, while at the same time developing their identity, leadership and involvement. The idea is for a holistic youth center to encompass all the youth services available in the area and provide educational, emotional, and leadership tools. The program is in its planning stages and is being carried out with the cooperation of the Ministry of Housing.

Mechinot – Post-High School and post-army

Ofek Mechinot – post-high school service learning In 2017-2018, the company ran 11 Ofek Mechinot from which approx. 500 students graduated, 120 of whom are of Ethiopian origin. Ofek Mechinot are designed for young people from Israel’s outlying regions with few educational or professional opportunities, who otherwise would not engage in an “elite” Israeli experience such as a pre-army Mechinah. Participants spend 6 months strengthening their Jewish and Israeli connections and developing the skills they need to be accepted into elite units in the IDF. Mechinot Ofek include residential programs in Jerusalem, Be’er

Sheva , Yerucham, and Nitzana, Haredi students near Beit Shemesh, and Jewish and Druze Mechinah in Julis.

Specialty Mechinot: *Alma Pre-army Academy for Female Leadership: The 2018 program year consisted of Alma's 5th cohort of 34 young women from all over Israel. *Pre-army Academy for Recent immigrants from the FSU: Located in the Goldstein Youth Village in Jerusalem, the Harel program caters to young Russian-speaking immigrants, most who made aliyah as young teenagers, including many who were displaced from eastern Ukraine. *Pre-army Academy for Members of the Druze Community: Julis is a mechina for both Jews and Druze, promoting equality of opportunity between the two populations. *Pre-army Academy for ultra-Orthodox: In its first cohort in 2017, the haredi mechina had 20 participants (following which 13 enlisted in the IDF) and in 2018 the second cohort consisted of 33 participants. The program takes place in Tarom, outside Jerusalem. *Pre-army Academy for Christians: In recent years, more Christian Arabs are choosing to join the IDF, and this program brings together Jews and Christians for a program which promotes coexistence and focuses on individual development.

Barak Mechinot – A four-month program in partnership with the "Lone Soldier Center in Memory of Michael Levine" and the Ministry of Defense, this program prepares lone soldiers for successful army service and integration. This year there are five cohorts in two locations: Kiryat Anavim and Kiryat Yearim.

Mechinot Kol Ami: Post-High School Service Learning - Focuses on issues of peoplehood, Israel engagement, and the bonds between Israelis and the Jewish People abroad; the participants include both Israelis and – in cooperation with Masa Israel Journey – and young people from overseas. Kol Ami provides Israeli high school graduates with an opportunity for Jewish study, volunteerism, and leadership training before they enter the IDF, while overseas participants are fully immersed in an Israeli environment and increase their leadership skills and knowledge about Israel and the Jewish world.

Afikim in the Negev - Post army service learning provides post-military service vocational training and preparation for civilian life, adulthood, and engaged citizenship. The program addresses the complex situation of newly-released soldiers and provides them with a half-year of empowerment, reflection and exposure to academic and career options, together with an exploration of Jewish and Israeli identity.

Mechinot for New IDF Alumni - provides post-military service vocational training and preparation for civilian life and engaged citizenship. The post-army mechina has 4 locations in Israel: Mitzpe Ramon, Jerusalem, Arad and Bika'at Kinarot.

Shin-Shinui: Service Year Enrichment - is a Jewish Agency initiative that began in 2012. Annually, around 2,500 motivated Israelis choose to defer their army service for a year to volunteer within, and on behalf of, Israeli society, through frameworks organized by a variety of youth movements and non-profit organizations around the country. In response to an identified need for more professional training for these young volunteers, including a theoretical basis for contextualizing their service, The Jewish Agency, in cooperation with the Avi Chai Foundation, is creating training centers for Israelis in their "Service Year" (shnat sherut, or shin-shinim), as well as young women in the National Service program and participants in other large-scale volunteer programs.

Bikat Kinarot The campus at Bikat Kinarot, located in the northern region of Emek HaYarden, serves as a social, educational, and professional facility that advances both the Zionist enterprise and pluralistic engagement. By bringing proud, patriotic, and passionate Israelis from a variety of backgrounds together with visitors from abroad engaged in exploring their connection to Israel and Judaism, both populations are enriched and emerge with a heightened sense of responsibility for the continuity of the Jewish People, the advancement of Emek HaYarden, and the future of the State of Israel.

Since 2016, The Jewish Agency has run four residential programs on the Bikat Kinarot campus. The goal is to expand this to a total of ten programs over the upcoming years. Current programs consist of a pre-military academy for Israeli Jews and Christians (45-60 participants), post-army and National Service programs (24 participants), a program for Garin Tzabar participants and Lone Soldiers (20-26 participants) and volunteers from abroad (40-60 participants).

New programs which are in various stages of exploration and development include a residential program for young immigrants studying engineering at the local Kinneret College, a civilian program for the Druze community in the Golan Heights, a Technological Education Center for young adults, an educational curriculum that focuses on the specific ecological and environmental challenges of Emek HaYarden, a Young Adult Guidance Center for employment and educational and parenting resources and networks, an Outdoor Training Facility, accommodations for Khan Education programs (which works with local schools and youth movements), and a Joint Venture Center focusing on casualties in the IDF and in the US Army.

Project TEN: Global Tikkun Olam is a service-learning program. Since June 2012, TEN Centers in Gondar - Ethiopia, Oaxaca - Mexico, Winneba - Ghana, Durban - South Africa and Kibbutz Harduf, Israel have been opened. Other locations in Central America, Cambodia and southern Israel are planned to be opened in order to reach a total of 8. In all locations, volunteers provide much-needed assistance to organizations such as orphanages and hospitals and develop sustainable programs with local non-profits in fields such as education, hygiene, healthcare, agriculture, and more. Volunteers study an intensive and rich curriculum focusing on Jewish identity, values, and community. Sessions include reflection and discussions on volunteering ethics, Shabbat and holidays, justice, and charity.

Board of Directors: The following are the company’s directors: Rany Trainin (Chair), Amira Aharonovich, Eli Carmeli, Michael Fainberg, Rinat Galili, Eytan Mizrachi, Dror Morag, Sigal Moran, Yael Rakov, Rina Ramot, Nechemia Rappel, Yulia Shamalov Berkovich.

Israel Tech Challenge Founded in 2015

Israel Tech Challenge (ITC) opens the door for talented professionals from Israel and the Jewish Diaspora to excel their careers in technology while focusing on the most in-demand skills in global tech: Data Science, Computer Vision/NLP, Design Verification, Cyber Security and Web Development. ITC offers its participants both training and job placement in top tech companies, along with strong networking in the Israeli tech community. To date, the company has introduced over 500 graduates to the Israeli hi-tech industry.

Vision & Mission Israel Tech Challenge aspires to train masses of talented individuals from Israel and abroad in the most needed tech specialties and place them in leading tech companies, in order to supply a long term solution to the severe shortage of human capital in the Israeli hi-tech industry. ITC is realizing this vision through two main training platforms: The flagship “Fellows” program which is intended for excellent STEM graduates with previous experience in coding who aspire to elevate their tech career, and the “Coding Bootcamp” program which is aimed at promising university graduates without a technological background who wish to enter the tech world as junior developers. Through bringing hundreds of people each year to its campus in southern TLV, ITC strives to become a hub of technology, education and innovation, where people from around the world can create a strong network and community which will promote the Israeli tech ecosystem and strengthen Israel’s status as the “Start-Up Nation”.

Programs The 2017-2018 programs served over 100 carefully-selected participants from thousands of applicants. Over 80% of the participants in the main training programs chose to stay in Israel post-program and work in the Israeli tech industry under long-term contracts. Each program brings together highly-skilled participants (hand-chosen from leading universities in Israel and from around the world such as MIT, Stanford, NYU, McGill, Cambridge, Sorbonne, Technion and more) for professional development through tailored curriculum. The careful formula that ITC uses empowers each alumnus to meaningfully impact the ecosystem, accelerate the Israeli technology industry, and progress Israel’s international reputation from the moment they begin their journey. “Fellows” program: The flagship program of ITC is a heavily subsidized 10-month professional opportunity for exceptional STEM graduates from leading universities. The participants who get accepted to the program after a rigorous screening process are required to have a strong mathematical background and previous experience in coding. The program, in cooperation with Masa, focuses in the first 5 months on elite Data Science/Design Verification/Cyber Security training and in the final 5 months includes a paid internship in leading high-tech and start-up companies such as: Intel, CheckPoint, PayPal, Mobileye, IBM, Outbrain and more. ITC Coding Bootcamp: An intensive program for tech savvy individuals who want to launch a new career as programmers in Israel. The Bootcamp offers a 5-month training in full-stack web development, which includes full day classroom training and an internship in a tech company. Graduates work in the Israeli hi- tech industry in junior development positions, in leading companies such as Taboola, Trax, Radiflow and more. ITC Internship Program: A Summer Internship designed for top-of-the-class, excellent and driven Computer Science/Software Engineering students in their 2nd or 3rd year of school. The students who are accepted to the program are matched with one of Israel's most innovative tech

companies and intern for 10.5 weeks as junior software developers. After graduating from the program, the students act as ‘ITC ambassadors’ on their campuses and help bring other excellent candidates like themselves to ITC’s different programs. Some of them come back to Israel after finishing school in order to work in Israeli industry or to participate in the Fellows program.

ITC’s Partners ITC is backed by leading organizations which share its vision and recognize its achievements: The Jewish Agency - a founding partner, the Government of Israel, Paul Singer Foundation, Seed the Dream Foundation, and other private donors. ITC also has many Industry partners who donate time and efforts to the organization in various ways: training participants in their fields of expertise, consulting the programs’ technological staff in the design of the courses, mentoring students and graduates and more.

Jewish People Policy Institute Founded in 2002

The Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) is a think-tank whose mission is to contribute to the thriving of the Jewish People and Jewish civilization globally by engaging in professional strategic thinking and planning on issues of primary concern to world Jewry. JPPI’s activities are action-oriented, placing special emphasis on identifying critical options, analyzing their potential impact on the future, and presenting policy recommendations and operative priorities.

JPPI provides professionals, decision-makers, and global leaders: * Overviews and analyses of situations and processes * Alerts to emerging threats and opportunities * Assessments of important current events and anticipated developments * Strategic action options and innovative alternatives * Policy options analysis * Agenda setting, policy recommendations, and work-plan design

JPPI enjoys complete professional independence. It operates under the guidance of a board of directors made up of experienced policy planning professionals, headed by Ambassadors Stuart Eizenstat and Dennis Ross, both former high-level American government officials.

In 2018, JPPI released five main publications, each reflecting a culmination or inflection point in regard to specific Institute projects or areas of primary focus. The publication covers pictured above link to the full reports.

 Rising Streams: Reform and Conservative Judaism in Israel (in English and Hebrew editions), the first ever comprehensive analysis of Israel’s non-Orthodox community, its organizational structures, institutions, leaders, and membership. This was under the auspices of the William Davidson Foundation supported pluralism project.  On the eve of Rosh Hashana, JPPI published its 15th Annual Assessment of the Situation and Dynamics of the Jewish People (In English and Hebrew editions). The 2018 report, The Jewish State at 70, includes an integrated net assessment and dashboard of gauges for five primary dimensions of Jewish well-being: Geopolitics; Community Bonds; Identity and Identification; Demography; and Jewish People Assets and Resources. JPPI is currently working to develop the parameters for a sixth dimension on Jewish Literacy, Creativity, and Innovation. JPPI offers policy directions for both the State of Israel and Diaspora communities. In addition, the 2018 Assessment included, among others, special chapters on Israeli-Diaspora Bonds, The Jewish State in the American Arts, and Israel’s Nation State Legislation.  An executive summary of the Annual Assessment was presented to the Prime Minister and full Israeli Cabinet by JPPI’s Co-Chairmen Ambs. Dennis Ross and Stuart Eizenstat and its President and Founding Director Avinoam Bar-Yosef, on June 24, 2018. JPPI is the only think tank that is invited to give these annual briefings to the Government of Israel and have been doing so since the late Ariel Sharon’s administration (2004).

 In late spring, JPPI published its report on its fifth-annual Structured Jewish World Dialogue: 70 Years of Israel-Diaspora Relations: The Next Generation (In Hebrew and English editions). The Dialogue included nearly 50 discussion seminars worldwide including in Israel. The annual Dialogues are part of a broader JPPI project on Pluralism in the Jewish World. This project also includes the Israeli Pluralism Index, which is based on a yearly JPPI survey of Israeli attitudes vis- à-vis pluralism.  In early spring 2018, the Institute published an integrative report: The International De- Legitimization Campaign: Analysis and Counter-Strategy. This report is based on 18 comprehensive papers on various aspects of the phenomenon prepared under an agreement with Ministry of Strategic Affairs.  In December 2018 the Israeli publishing house Kinneret-Zmora released JPPI’s 2018 study on Israeli Judaism (Hebrew) by Senior Fellow Shmuel Rosner and Tel Aviv University professor and pollster Camil Fuchs. The study examines and analyzes the variety of ways Judaism is practiced (or not) in Israel and is chiefly based on data JPPI collected in an exhaustive survey of 3000 Israeli Jews, an optimum statistical sample with a 1.8% margin of error.

Masa Israel Journey Founded in 2004

Masa continues to focus its efforts on creating impact and expanding its network. Masa operates in areas which serve both the global market and the triple mission of creating leadership for the Jewish world, serving Israel’s national priorities, and helping individual participants grow as people and as professionals. It offers 6 main products: (1) Masa Career and Career Pro, (2) Academic Fellows, (3) MITF, (4) Masa Tech, (5) Jewish Studies and (6) Leadership Development programs. The company's educational goals, namely, to provide personal and professional growth opportunities; discovery of “the nation” via peers; and discovery of Israel as a home, are realized organically via an unmediated Israel experience and unique Masa educational content, and are similarly interdependent.

Masa's efforts in growing its market lean on the following strategic activities: (1) B2B, product-focused programs / cohorts development (long or mid-term), specifically for Career Development and/or MITF. Masa offers itself as a platform for Jewish or private organizations to plan and make their direct impact on Israel through a Masa program in Israel. (2) Another key activity is the establishment of the Masa Leadership Academy, which includes Masa's Leadership Accelerator twice a year, and a Summer Leadership Institute. Masa is a central engine for leadership development in the Jewish world, aiming to ensure Masa's alumni continue their leadership journey in Israel and activate themselves in global Jewish communities. To that extent the company offers Jewish organizations an opportunity to develop designated Leadership tracks with Masa and create deployment opportunities for alumni once they are back home.

Early successes during 2018: 1. Launching 'Masa FastTrack Career Accelerator' – a new product by Masa that expands the opportunities specifically for top-notch, post college participants who are looking to enrich their early stage work experience and resume by a global work experience in Israel – the start-up nation. 2. Launching the Masa Leadership Academy's Partner Accelerator: In partnership with organizations around the globe, The Academy designs a tailor-made 6-week Israel-based leadership and professional development program with the objective of supporting organizations face and tackle the challenges that they are designed to meet. The Summer Institute will launch in 2019. 3. Developing a new MITF-STEM track in Beit She'an – Cleveland federation with Masa are about to expand the Masa Israel Teaching Fellows by creating these days a unique track for post college fellows to teach STEM in English, approved by Israel's Ministry of Education. 4. Launching Hillel Next – a 5 months' internship program in Tel Aviv or a 10 months' MITF program in Haifa, offered by Hillel offered to college graduates, allowing them to continue their journey in Israel after they finish college. 5. Developing Masa-Chabad MITF Ashkelon Track

6. Developing a designated Leadership track for Haredi women – as 72% of the Masa Jewish Studies participants are women, which are known for holding a great potential of leading a change in their communities, Masa is adding a unique Leadership track to its portfolio, designed for this target audience.

Ongoing strategic projects: 1. Masa Market Place and Job Placements Platform To increase the Israeli internship market, make it more efficient, more appealing and user- friendly for our potential users; Masa redesign, centralize and automate the placement process. We are working to create an integrated marketplace which includes the potential interns, potential employers, organizers, and alumni. The marketplace will enable alumni and companies to engage with one another regarding real job opportunities in Israel and abroad; as well as for internship opportunities abroad (mainly for Gap Year Alumni looking for a domestic internship). This will enable Masa to receive and extract the data on the internship market, increase traction, encourage healthy competition between organizers, improve the matching process, and customer service. 2. Market Research in USA Masa is about to perform quantitative and qualitative market research in North America in order to better characterize and segment the potential American market, both affiliated and non- affiliated young American Jews, to optimize the marketing and brand strategy and marketing accordingly for each segment – to increase the market share in North America.

Misholei Hinuch (Ramat Hadassah Youth Village) Founded in 2004

The Ramat Hadassah Youth Village was established in 1949 by Henrietta Szold and colleagues of the Hadassah organization, serving as a temporary home for child survivors of the Holocaust, and later absorbed children olim from various countries. Since the 1990’s the village has been serving as a home for youth at risk due to socio-economic situation, absorption difficulties, learning difficulties, etc. At present, 50% of pupils are from single-parent families and many having been exposed to violence and alcohol and drug abuse. Pupils come to the village with a scholastic gap of 3-6 years. In the 2017-2018 school year, there were 230 pupils at the 6-year school located in the village, 40% of whom considered special education pupils and 20 students at the practical engineering program.

Main goals: * As high a level of education as possible, striving for matriculation eligibility, technological certification or high school diploma. * Personal development of the pupil, for successful integration in life stages (army, study, etc.)

The Ramat Hadassah model – An integrative personal program for the pupils, based on the belief that “every pupil can succeed”. When a pupil comes to the village, the multi-professional staff examines their needs in terms of education and personal development and then designs an integrative personal program based on cooperation between the pupil, the school, the dormitory, the therapies and the supporting coordinators. The program enables the pupil to progress at the rate suitable for them and provides solutions to additional needs such as therapy with animals, art therapy, drama, etc. The village has a system for monitoring progress of the pupil in their personal program and sets benchmarks for measurement of scholastic achievements, independence, and personal commitment. There are also standards that the village strives to meet such as number of pupils, financial data, number of graduates serving in the IDF, employment of graduates, etc. Some of the tools used for follow-up: personal “progress pledge”; weekly meetings of the “nuclear staff” (counselor, social worker, teacher); a unique computer program with comprehensive data on the pupil for ease in follow-up and supervision.

Special Programs * “A Future for Every Pupil” -- providing training and professional certification not on the full matriculation track, such as beauty, electronics, 3D printing. * Learning Center – recently set up to assist study in the dormitory in afternoon hours. * Therapy group for girls was also recently set up. * CNC Machining program – This field is one of the school tracks as well as a college-level program leading to a practical engineering degree. * English horse-riding academy – this is an excellence program aiming toward becoming a horse-riding certified guide and representing the village at national level competitions * Mountains bike riding team – teaching the pupils self-discipline, consistency, hard work and aiming to help them to achieve their targets and dreams. * Roots journey to Ethiopia – a group of 14 pupils travelling to Africa to meet their parents socio-cultural background

Support and Enrichment Centers Four centers support the educational process: * Therapeutic Center: Coordinates the psycho-social therapy and accompanies the educational staff of the school and dormitory, works by various intervention methods relating to the person, family and community. * Sport and Challenge Center: Among lessons learned through sport: avoiding violence, ethics, discipline, perseverance. Other than various sports are challenge activities such as diving, climbing wall, navigation, horseback riding, cycling, football, Zumba, archery * Nature and Environment Center: Both educational and therapeutic. Center is running by pupils with staff assistance. Includes activities in the community: programs with developmentally delayed children, schools, seniors homes. * Business Initiative Center: This benefits pupils who have difficulties in scholastic fields and aims to encourage excellence and acquire life skills through business initiatives. One activity of this center, an initiative in cooperation with local businesses, combines work in 3 areas: growing medicinal herbs, production of containers and wooden products, and production of soaps and natural cosmetics.

Community connections and volunteers Through various ties with the community, local people volunteer in the village and give of their time and experience. In parallel, pupils take an active part in the surrounding community – volunteering in MDA, firefighting, the Scouts movement and with seniors. Army units have connections with pupils as well. In a program aided by The Spirit of Israel, the village has wide-ranging ties with various companies and public institutions.

Village graduates The Graduates’ Coordinator keeps in touch with graduates during army service, and former pupils who lack family backing are given special accommodation in the village. Scholarships for further education are available.

Special Events in 2017-2018 Mission to Poland, Mission to Ethiopia, Bar/Bat mitzvah ceremonies at the Western Wall, IDF Week, Heritage Week, Community Fairs, survival journey in the desert, Nitzana bike journey.

Nativ – The National Center for Jewish Studies, Identity and Conversion (Formerly National Company for Education, Development and Absorption)

The company manages the Joint Institute for Jewish Studies and is funded by the Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency.

The Joint Institute for Jewish Studies was established by decision of the Government of Israel in cooperation with The Jewish Agency following the recommendations of the Neeman Commission. The main objective of the Institute is to provide Israeli citizens who are not registered as Jewish with a variety of frameworks for enriching their knowledge about Judaism and, for those who are interested, assistance in the conversion process. Although the Institute’s teaching staff represents all streams in Judaism, the Institute provides a single agreed educational program. Participants who are approved by the official rabbinical courts for conversion receive a conversion certificate from the State of Israel which is recognized by all Jewish streams in Israel and overseas.

There are two main tracks of study at the Institute: 1. For soldiers – Thousands of soldiers study in a wide variety of courses. 2. For the general public – Courses are run in communities around the country. Three options exist: a ten month course consisting of two weekly meetings, a year-long course consisting of meetings once a week, and a year-long internet course supplemented by local teachers who connect the student to the community.

Two years ago an innovative digital system for recruiting participants to the civilian courses was launched and has resulted in a 110% increase in numbers.

The National Project for the Ethiopian Community in Israel (ENP) Founded in 2004

ENP's mission is to ensure the full and successful integration of Ethiopian Jews into Israeli society in a partnership between the Government of Israel and Diaspora Jewry, with the full and active involvement of the Ethiopian-Israeli community itself. It carries this out by addressing the most pressing social and educational needs of Ethiopian-Israeli youth aged 13-18, their parents and the leaders that can impact their lives. Due to ENP’s success and at the request of the Government of Israel, ENP has expanded its program from 19 cities with 3,413 students to 28 cities with 5,015 students and now includes 20% non- Ethiopian-Israeli students in the program. Through its work, ENP is transforming the lives of its participants and ensuring that the Ethiopian-Israeli community has a brighter future.

ENP’s impact is unmatched: ENP's SPACE (School Performance and Community Empowerment) program has provided assistance to between 12 to 25% (in different years) of 12th-grade Ethiopian-Israeli students and has played a key role in improving matriculation scores. In fact, for ENP participants the matriculation rate has now surpassed the national Jewish matriculation average, with a rate of 82% compared to 71%. ENP participant performance has also demonstrated a substantial comparative advantage over Ethiopian-Israeli students of similar demographics in schools who did not participate in the program .

Further, a recent evaluation on the socio-emotional support component of ENP SPACE found that ENP’s holistic methodology is an important component that has been assimilated in the schools and is an integral part of the practices to promote Ethiopian-Israeli students. The students who participated in the study also noted that the socio-emotional component contributed greatly to their personal empowerment, conceptualizing their future and increasing their motivation.

Target Population The Ethiopian-Israeli population, currently standing at 148,700, has great potential to be fully integrated into Israeli society, but faces tremendous challenges. Their economic and social deprivation, combined with a crisis of cultural transition, has a hugely negative impact on every aspect of their lives -- especially of their children, 32% of whom live below the poverty line. In a thorough mapping, ENP has identified close to 9,000 7th through 12th graders who are in dire need of ENP programs.

ENP: A Unique Partnership A unique partnership between the Jewish Federations of North America, the Government of Israel, representatives of Ethiopian Jewish community organizations, The Jewish Agency, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in Israel (JDC-Israel) and Keren Hayesod-UIA, ENP unites those dedicated to advancing the Ethiopian-Israeli community, adopting the following strategies:  Empowerment: A grassroots effort on a national scale, ENP involves the Ethiopian-Israeli community at every stage of the creation, implementation and evaluation of ENP's programs.  A holistic approach: ENP programs take a “bigger picture" of the cultural, social and emotional challenges faced by Ethiopian-Israeli teenagers that hinder their academic success.  Meeting unmet needs: ENP carries out an extensive mapping of existing programs and services to ensure that ENP programs are filling an unmet, critical need.

ENP Programs ENP’s flagship initiative is the SPACE (School Performance and Community Empowerment) Scholastic Assistance (5,015 students in 28 cities): A holistic program providing supplementary, after-school hours of educational, emotional, social and nutritional support to improve students’ achievements in core subjects, increase motivation to learn, strengthen pride in Ethiopian Jewish heritage and improve their self-confidence. ENP’s initiatives are complemented by a range of further programs:  ENP SPACE Leadership Development: Training Ethiopian-Israeli activists at local and national levels to lead and transform the Ethiopian-Israeli population into a strong and self-sufficient community.  Medical and Dental University Scholarships: ENP is continuing to provide Ethiopian-Israeli medical and dental students with scholarships to ease their financial burden during their intensive studies. In 2018, ENP launched a number of new SPACE-related initiatives that further enrich the participants’ experience:  ENP Bridges: Spoken English enrichment for 9th graders, designed to boost performance and increase tracking levels for participants. Includes English summer camp experiences for outstanding achievers.  ENP SPACE Youth Empowerment and Civic Engagement Program: In partnership with the US Embassy and State Department’s Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), intensive leadership training for youth.  ENP Ti’ud- Imparting the Story of the Ethiopian Aliyah to Future Generations: The Ti’ud afterschool pilot program seeks to engage, educate and motivate 240 high school students to develop a much stronger appreciation for the history and traditions of Ethiopian Jewry. For the 80% of the participants who are Ethiopian, it will further serve to bridge the gap between grandparents, their children and grandchildren as they work together on developing various projects that tell their family’s story.

The Spirit of Israel Founded in 1997

Since its establishment by The Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod, the Spirit of Israel supports Israel's most vulnerable populations through the development of charitable giving, volunteering and recruitment of upstanding citizens of Israel and the business sector. The Spirit of Israel is led by Chairman moshe Attias and its Honorary Chairman is Tal Brody, an Israel Prize winner. Board members include prominent businessmen who serve in this role in a voluntary capacity. Alongside them is the "Leadership Group" led by Ilan Linhard, whose members come from all business sectors.

During it years of operation, The Spirit of Israel has been helping thousands of children- and youth-at-risk and their families, by supporting social and educational programs designed to empower underprivileged populations within Israeli society and help them acquire the tools necessary to cope with constant challenges, thereby securing a bright future of attainable success.

The Jewish Agency has been at the forefront of work on behalf of Israel's at-risk population from the various ethnicities and faiths which comprise Israel's diverse population and has created effective programs for their benefit. These include "Youth Futures", youth villages, pre- and post-army programs and scholarship funds.

With over 10,000 donations of all sizes annually, The Spirit of Israel works in cooperation with a large number of Israeli and international corporations (over 70 - including Intel, Teva, KPMG, Check Point and others), philanthropic foundations and private donors in order to financially support and enhance this important work of The Jewish Agency.

In 2018, The Spirit of Israel won the "Genesis Prize" for the Alma pre-military academy for female leadership.

The Spirit of Israel holds numerous annual events including: an annual gala fundraising event, an art exhibition and auction by major Israeli artists, and jewelry sales. These events, attended by thousands of Spirit of Israel donors, supplement the direct mail operation, on-line fundraising campaigns and telemarketing fundraising efforts.

The engagement of the Israeli public in the meaningful programs of The Jewish Agency is best demonstrated by the daily work of over 1,500 committed and dedicated SOI volunteers. They are the cornerstone of The Spirit of Israel and are vital to the efforts for building a mutually responsible society. Many of them give generously of their knowledge and know-how, as pro-bono legal advisers, accountants, architects etc. The company also works closely with the retirees and staff of Israel's security services who value the organization and support its work.

The Spirit of Israel advocates the values of donations, volunteerism, social entrepreneurship, community involvement and social activism. The company is continuously working on the development of knowledge, methods and approaches for innovative informal interventions for the benefit of children-

and youth-at-risk, alongside The Jewish Agency programs. This year, the company is marking the fourth cycle of the "One on One" four-year mentoring program to guide youth-at-risk from their last year at the youth village through their military service to independent lives, a program highly valued and supported by both the Ministry of Education and the IDF.

Youth are Israel's future and they have tremendous capabilities if properly nourished. To see the results of the caring and hard work of the company's staff and volunteers is extremely rewarding.

Yearim Youth Village Founded in 2008

The Youth Village serves nearly 115 Israeli teens each year who come from Israel’s at-risk communities, providing them with academic and social opportunities to advance themselves and become contributing members of Israeli society.

In June 2016, the youth village began a five-year strategic plan, thus enabling it to reevaluate itself and look for opportunities to improve its overall operations. The goals defined in this plan were first implemented in the 2016-17 school year, and included developing customized individual plans for each student, increasing the safety and security of the village, enhancing the staff and their professional skills, ensuring a balanced budget, and renovating physical structures and the landscape.

This past year, 35% of the students enrolled were of Ethiopian origin, representing an 8% decrease from the previous year; 52% were Israeli born, a 21% increase from the previous year; and 12% of the students were from Russia, a decrease of 6% from the previous year.

The average attendance rate in 2017-18 was 87%, a 1% increase from the previous year.

In 2017-18 the Kiryat Yearim Youth Village employed 70 staff members, including eight new professionals. Performance review meetings are held for all employees at the end of each quarter.

The youth village makes great efforts to help students prepare for the Israeli matriculation certificate. Kiryat Yearim also offers a number of vocational opportunities, such as a welding course and a cell-phone technicians course.

Kiryat Yearim runs five leadership groups (technical team, sound and lighting, food, young counselors and student council), which enable students to build upon their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. In addition, the leadership groups provide students with specific tasks that are integral to the daily operations of the youth village and introduces students to potential career paths.

Counseling and therapy are a critical component of each student’s work plan. The therapy provided includes animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, and bibliotherapy.

Alumni Program - A comprehensive survey of the alumni from 2005-2016 has been carried out and will assist in evaluating the village's services.

In the 2017-18 school year, the Village renovated the first floors in the Rimon and Shaked dormitories, with support from the Ministry of Education and the Max M. and Marjories S. Fisher Foundation.

Youth Futures Founded in 2014

Transforming Risk into Opportunity Youth Futures is one of Israel's leading positive intervention programs, aiming to empower and advance children, youth and their families who live in Israel's social and geographic peripheries. The vision of Youth Futures is to provide these children and their families with security, tools for success, and equal opportunities to realize their unique and individual potential.

Youth Futures began in 2006 as a flagship program of The Jewish Agency, and has since expanded its operational model to become an effective empowerment program for 12,000 youth at-risk and their families. Each of the 36 low-income communities in which Youth Futures operates, representing different sectors of Israeli society, including the ultra-Orthodox, Arab, Bedouin, and Druze, has a Family and Community Coordinator in each location, who works to help children and parents access the available social services to which they are entitled, teaches parenting skills, encourages parents to be more actively involved in children’s lives, helps parents manage the family economy, and harnesses the resources of the community to build a positive educational environment for all children. Additionally, Youth Futures “Mentors” in each school – young adults specially trained for this role – work with individual children and their parents to help them strengthen their interpersonal, intrapersonal, and academic skills.

From monitoring program graduates, the program’s long-term benefit is evident in graduates’ abilities to integrate in normative study frameworks, zero drop-out rates, and high motivation for army service. Active involvement of graduates in volunteer programs in the communities in which they grew up can also be seen.

As of April 2015, Youth Futures began its new journey as a subsidiary company of The Jewish Agency. The official name of the new company is Youth Futures, Ltd. It is designed as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). The company has over 350 employees, including Mentors, Coordinators and program directors.

The Company has a strong and committed partnership with the Government of Israel, the local authority and the Israeli public. The transition to a subsidiary company was enacted in partnership with the Ministry of Education, which has committed significant resources in the Youth Futures national program. Youth Futures also receives significant support from The Jewish Agency and the JFNA, with an annual budget of close to $11,000,000.

The company continues to enjoy the professional leadership of two groups. The first, the Board of Directors which meets four times a year to discuss the ongoing of the company. The second is the Professional Committee, which is designed to provide professional consultation to the program in education and working with youth and families at risk. The committee is composed of professionals from the Ministry of Education and academic circles and meets three times a year in Seminar Hakibbutzim to help design the professional educational tune of the program. The third is the Heartbeats professional committee that meets three times a year and consists of the program's professionals, representatives of government ministries, experts from the field of early childhood and representatives of research and development.

The Heartbeat program, which was launched in 2017, is currently running in six localities. It focuses on children between birth to age 3 who are considered “at-risk” and is now in the process of becoming an Evidence-based model program. After an in-depth search, the company engaged Healthy Families America (HFA), whose curriculum is well-suited to the Heartbeats approach and to the Israeli audience.

The company has launched the Youth Futures Alumni Network which works with graduates of Youth Futures and their parents, and this is now running in three localities.

For the past two years, Youth Futures has been holding two national events: Youth Futures for the Community – Youth Futures values the concept of volunteerism and recognizes its benefits for the beneficiaries as well as the volunteer. Mentors, children and families undertake regular volunteer projects within the community throughout the year. Specifically on Israel's National Volunteer Day, held during the Hanuka winter break, the mentors and children take on a special volunteer project benefiting the community. Each mentor works with their group of children to plan and carry out a special project. Youth Futures on Israel's National Trail – During the Passover vacation, Youth Futures children, parents and staff embark on a remarkable journey. From all 36 locations across the country, participants take on a portion of the Israel National Trail closest to their homes.

Israel Education Fund Companies Overview

Since the mid-1960s, the Israel Education Fund (IEF) of The Jewish Agency/UIA/UIA Canada/Keren Hayesod has been instrumental in the establishment of some 1,500 capital projects. These projects are to be found throughout the country: they include community centers, public libraries, pre-school facilities, schools, regional colleges, teacher-training colleges, sports facilities and auditoriums.

At the inception of the IEF a number of practices were instituted to satisfy the requirements of the donors and tax authorities. One of these practices was the establishment of companies controlled by The Jewish Agency/UIA/UIA Canada/Keren Hayesod (IEF companies) to manage the assets established by the IEF.

Another practice instituted from the outset was to receive a contractual commitment from the local authority in which the IEF project was established. This commitment, endorsed by the Ministry of the Interior, requires the local authority to provide the resources necessary to ensure the continued running of the project.

Community Centers The community centers were established in order to relieve acute social problems in development towns and deprived neighborhoods. These community centers, most of which are under the guidance of the Israeli Corporation of Community Centers, set themselves the goal of social integration by offering a common venue for a wide variety of activities to the different groups in the community: young and old, rich and poor, religious and non-religious, immigrants and veterans. The main activities of a typical community center comprise adult education; music, art and drama; pre-school activities; sports; providing for groups with special needs; and the coordination of volunteer work.

Colleges There are five colleges managed by companies: two colleges of technology – Tel Hai and Kinneret; and three academic colleges of education: Levinsky in Tel Aviv, Wingate near Netanya and Kaye in Beer- Sheba. The colleges make a very significant contribution. For the colleges situated in peripheral areas, the value can be measured in terms of direct employment generation, the provision of vocational and professional qualifications needed in the area, and an enrichment of the cultural life of the region. The Levinsky and Wingate colleges have great significance on the national level, and Kaye College is an important institution for the Negev region.

Alperin Kinneret College of Technology in Emek Hayarden

Kaye College places high importance on diversity, multiculturalism and internationalization of its curricula, and promotes collaborations of various types, which include exchange of knowledge, joint research, consultations and publications. As an academic institution that enhances research-based teacher education, Kaye College has been involved in several collaborative projects funded by the European Union, including: Tempus DOIT (on multiculturalism), Tempus IRIS (on Internationalization of higher education) Erasmus+ In2It (on developing and applying internationalization processes in higher education using new technologies), and Erasmus+ Proteach (on developing innovative environments that embrace novice teachers). Currently the college is involved in proposing two new projects to the European Union.

Some of the College's special initiatives:

Matal: [www.kaye7.org.il] is a free, online pedagogical center based in the Matal Pedagogical Library in Kaye College. This internet site consists of over 400 topics (in Hebrew and Arabic) which cover all the major subjects taught in schools.

Shvilim ("Trails"): is a program which teaches democratic principles and environmental studies. The Shvilim program trains aspiring educators to become agents of change within the education system of the south of Israel. It assumes that the world-wide environmental crisis is not one of nature, but of society, and that its source is not in the relationship between man and nature, but in relationships among human beings. As such, Shvilim suggests an educational perspective that brings together students from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicities and enables them to create innovative possibilities for Jewish and Arab society in the Negev.

Netivim ("Paths"): is intended for young Bedouin students (ages 18-24) who wish to be environmental leaders, teachers of geography and promoters of educational initiatives in informal education. The main

emphasis of the program is to create an in-depth acquaintance with socio-environmental issues in the Negev.

The Koren-Kaye-JITLI Center: Within the complex reality of the tension in Jewish-Arab relations in Israeli society, the Koren-Kaye-JITLI Center was established to enhance collaboration and mutual respect between Jewish and Bedouin students, to increase knowledge of the “other” and to strengthen feelings of acceptance and trust. The principles that guide the center’s initiatives are shared living and joint action, experiential learning, activities that respond to shared goals and interests, joint coordination by faculty and students and student enrichment.

Biomimicry: The main idea behind biomimicry is that nature has amazing solutions for different needs, so it is very worthwhile to test it as a source of knowledge for sustainable solutions. The field is recognized as an engine of innovation in different aspects of life. The students developed a biomimetic learning pathway in the College garden, which includes written explanations in Hebrew and Arabic and presents various activity stations on the topic of animals and plants that are unique to the Negev.

Walking Path in Kaye College -"Kaye Paths": Kaye College has been an important arena for the implementation of programs that promote a healthy lifestyle. This is because Kaye College aggregates a number of versatile populations (students, in service teachers, senior citizen learners, academic faculty and managerial staff members). Students who study at the Physical Education Program have initiated the marking of a peripheral, 775 meters long, walking path across campus. Alongside the path are signs promoting healthy physical activity, including a warm-up activity, a walking technique, awareness of healthy lifestyles and physical exercises.

The College’s Bachelor of Education programs are offered through its School of Education and School of Physical Education, which train physical education teachers according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Education. The College is constantly growing in terms of student registration – in the 2017-2018 school year, about 1,500 students were registered in the B.Ed. program, including in the Academic Retraining Program.

The Academic College at Wingate also confers Masters of Physical Education degrees. In 2017-2018, about 150 students were registered in the program. Besides expanding the knowledge of physical education teachers, this program is aimed at preparing its participants for research and development in the movement and sports sciences, and training professionals from sports organizations, local authorities, security services, etc., in the fields of coaching, consultation, and supervision of physical education. The College also trains professionals in “Rehabilitation through Movement”, as well as in developing sports participation in the special education system and in other settings that cater to populations with special needs (for example, heart-lung rehabilitation, sports for the disabled, physical activity for seniors).

The Academic College at Wingate operates a professional development school with programs for teachers, trainers, and coaches. It also offers several specialty programs: “XCOOL” for challenge tourism, MediWin for alternative medicine, a school for security and combat, and a unit for methodology and medicine in sport.

The Authority assists faculty and students in planning their research, preparing research proposals, processing data, statistical consultation, and preparing final research reports for publication.

Recent Milestones In June 2014, the College marked its 70th anniversary (1944-2014) with a spectacular program of movement, dance, and memorabilia. The ceremony was attended by thousands of graduates and past and present faculty members and students, and was broadcast on Israel's Sports Channel.

Later in the year, SHOHAM, the College’s Association of Alumni and Friends, awarded 40 scholarships to students who participated in the IDF’s Protective Edge Campaign in the summer of that year.

In 2015 the College received permanent authorization to award Master's degrees with a thesis (until then, only non-thesis degrees had been granted).

In 2016 the College opened another Master's degree: The Council of Higher Education sanctioned opening a Master’s degree program in “Education for Active and Healthy Lifestyle”.

In the summer of 2018, the college marked the openning of the Movement Rehabilitation Center for the disabled population, in conjunction with the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi).
