An overview on desert aquaculture in Israel. In V. Crespi & A. Lovatelli, eds. Aquaculture in desert and arid lands: development constraints and opportunities. FAO Technical Workshop. 6–9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Proceedings No. 20. Rome, FAO. 2011. pp. 85–112. SUMMARY The State of Israel has a very diverse climate. Most of the country is in a semi-arid zone, with distinct short winter (wet) and long summer (dry) seasons, and a low annual rainfall of around 500 mm (an overall multi-annual average). The country can be divided into two climatic regions: (1) the southern arid/semi-arid areas have very low annual precipitation (<100 mm) and consist of the Negev Desert and the Arava Valley; this arid zone extends also to the Jordan Valley where annual rainfall is below 300 mm; (2) the central-north of the country that has a temperate, Mediterranean climate and a relatively high annual rainfall (>600 mm). Israel has suffered from a chronic water shortage for years. In recent years, however, the situation has developed into a severe crisis; since 1998, the country has suffered from drought, and the annual rainfall was short of the multi-annual average in most of the years.

EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MP-$1.00 BC-$11.95 DESCRIPTORS Acculturation, Educational Needs, Educational Opportunities, *Educational Problems, *Educational Programs, Educational Resources, Ethnic Groups, *Ethnic Relations, Ncn Western Civilization, Research and Development Centers, *Research Projects IDENTIFIERS Committee On Education And Labor, Hebrew University, *Israel, Tel Aviv University ABSTRACT This Congressional Subcommittee report on education in Israel begins with a brief narrative of impressions on preschool programs, kibbutz, vocational programs, and compensatory programs. Although the members of the subcommittee do not want to make definitive judgments on the applicability of education in Israel to American needs, they are most favorably impressed by the great emphasis which the Israelis place on early childhood programs, vocational/technical education, and residential youth villages. The people of Israel are considered profoundly dedicated to the support of education at every level. The country works toward expansion of opportunities for education, based upon a belief that the educational system is the key to the resolution of major social problems. In the second part of the report, the detailed itinerary of the subcommittee is described with annotated comments about the places and persons visited. In the last part, appendixes describing in great depth characteristics of the Israeli education system (higher education in Israel, education and culture, and the kibbutz) are reprinted.

  • ORT PH List Numerical
    The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) ORT PHOTO COLLECTION – ORT/Ph ORT (organization for rehabilitation and training) was founded in 1880 as a Russian, Jewish organization to promote vocational training of skilled trades and agriculture and functioned there until the outbreak of World War I, which together with the Bolshevik Revolution caused a virtual cessation of its activities. In 1920 ORT was reestablished in Berlin as an international organization and began operating in Russia and the countries that had formerly been part of Russia – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Bessarabia – as well as in Germany, France, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the offices were moved from Berlin to Paris and subsequently to Marseilles after the capture of Paris by the Germans in 1940. After World War II the headquarters of World ORT Union were set up in Genève, from which they later moved to London, where they reside to this day. The list below is arranged according to serial numbers each of which represents a country. The sequencing is based on the original order of photos inside the former metal binders, hence towns within a country are listed randomly, not alphabetically. Displaying the photo collection of the ORT files from the headquarters in London, most of the descriptions are the original captions from the former binders.

  • The STEM Pipeline in Israel
    From Early Learning to Workforce The STEM pipeline in Israel Written by Lea Landman, Policy consultant Professional Review by Dr. Eli Eisenberg, Senior Deputy Director General and Head of Research, Development and Training in ORT Israel Submitted by 1 We hope that the report combined with the hard work of a mosaic of funders, the government, and providers will provide significant resources and inspire deep conversations, ultimately resulting in ensuring even greater impact on STEM in Israel. The Samueli Foundation is a leading philanthropic partner in developing large-scale Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives involving education, workforce development, and professional development across systems with diverse stakeholders. In the past year, we have worked together with communities across the United States to help drive conversations that are reshaping the vision of STEM. Discussion and planning that include students, teachers, parents, government, funders, and business and focus on how to cultivate cross-platform, collaborative systems beginning from early learning up thru workforce. Much of this work relies on understanding the STEM landscape in the communities - mapping assets, identifying strengths, opportunities, and gaps. That is why we are excited to work with Beyachad: Stella and Yoel Carasso Family Foundation in partnership with The Rashi Foundation, Jewish Funders Network and Sheatufim to support an environmental scan of STEM assets in Israel. The report and its findings are critical to understanding the STEM landscape – successes, opportunities, strategies and challenges in building out the STEM pipeline in Israel. We hope that the report combined with the hard work of a mosaic of funders, the government, and providers will provide significant resources and inspire deep conversations, ultimately resulting in ensuring even greater impact on STEM in Israel.
