This report covers the 2013-2014 academic year and the 2013 financial year. jxxfljx=kwtr=ymj=wjxnijsy= fsi=}jhzyn{j=nwjhytw NACOEJ’s main mission in Israel is to enhance the progress of Ethiopian Jews through good education, the foundation of all success in life. Our Limudiah programs for elementary school children, and our sponsorships for high school and college students, make a huge difference! But many needs are not being met -- in housing, employment, and other vital areas. We must press Israel’s government to take further appropriate steps on behalf of Ethiopian olim. Failure to do so can create a permanent underclass. Another vital challenge must also be met through advocacy. Most Ethiopian Jews who left their villages in Ethiopia in 2003 or 2010 have come to Israel. But some 5,000 still wait in growing despair in Gondar Province and Addis Ababa. Most have first-degree relatives in Israel. Their dream of aliyah has shaped the mission of their lives for many years. Many of the Jews still stranded in Ethiopia were rejected without being told why. How can they respond without knowing why they were denied the right to join their families in Israel? Advocacy on their behalf has already brought some results. The Israeli government has establishedblished a committee to review their cases. But so far there has been no report from the committee,e, and aliyah has been almost non-existent. We must press this important committee to finish its work without further delay, and determinemine which of the remaining Ethiopians they approve for aliyah. Over more than 30 years we’ve demonstrated that NACOEJ can make a huge difference nin th thee lives of Ethiopian Jews. They’re still counting on us, and we must not let them down now. Rabbi Jerome M. Epstein, President The title of an old Bob Dylan song -- “The Times They Are A-Changin’” -- has been running through my mind this year. We have seen so many changes, good and bad. The bad have been dreadful, with war, death, and suffering leading the list. By comparison, the good changes may seem small – but they are the ones that give us hope. Top of my “good list” is opening the first-ever NACOEJ Limudiah Illit (Upper Limudiah) for middle-school students. The photo on the opposite page shows how excited the students and I were when we met, just a month into the first semester in a girls’ school in Yavne. The girls said things like “For the first time, I took a math test really knowing what I was doing!” One teacher came in on her day off, bringing her new baby, just to meet us and join the whole staff in urging us to keep Limudiah Illit going through 12th grade. Can we? I’ll tell you next year! Next on my “good list” of changes is NACOEJ Israel Director Shoshana Ben-Dor’s wonderfulerful work on preserving Ethiopian Jewish culture. This year it’s a Siddur in Ge-ez and Hebrew, for thehe unique Ethiopian-Jewish Sigd festival, now a national Israeli holiday. And then, increasing our close cooperation with other like-minded organizations, we introducedoduced our NACOEJ family to beautiful gold jewelry made by Ethiopian Israelis in a special programm at the Yvel Jewelry Company. In the photos opposite and on this page, I’m wearing one of their eelegantlegant pendants. It says “love” in incised Amharic letters! Working together is always good for the Jews. For more items on my “good list”, please stay in touch.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

  • New Crypto Currency Mining Malware Also Disables Security Services
    MAY 2018 New Crypto Currency Mining Malware Also Disables Security Services During April 2018, Fortinet Cyber Security Company discovered a new cryptocurrency miner named Monero that not only allows attackers to use the infected computer to mine the cryptocurrency but also disables the cybersecurity services. Monero or PyroMiner is downloaded as a zip, and once inside, it takes control of the Remote Desktop Protocol, a protocol that allows a computer to connect with another one over a network connection, and modify the firewall to allow the malware to get through. The attackers can now block Windows Update, disable the rest of the cybersecurity defenses, and keep installing malware on the victim’s computer. So far, PyroMiner only attacks Windows-powered computers, and it spreads using the EternalRomance exploit, a flaw in Windows coding patched by Microsoft in March 2017. Pinkerton considers likely that the malware will spread faster in the following months due to the number of users who have not updated their Windows operating system. On February 4, 2018, Tripwire Cyber Security Company published an article stating that EternalRomance, EternalSinergy, and EternalChampion exploits had been updated and now could efficiently spread through Windows 2000 to 2016 operative systems. Pinkerton advises all clients to update their antivirus database and Windows operative system. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid entering untrusted web pages and remain attentive to Windows announcements regarding software patches and updates. LinkedIn Security Liability May Have Compromised Users’ Personal Data A security researcher from Lightning Security has reported that he discovered a security bug which made it possible for third parties to access users’ data, including private information such as email addresses and phone numbers.
