    Arabs, Jews to travel to Poland together Special delegation of Jewish, Arab, Druze, Bedouin and Christian students to visit concentration camps, learn about 'the other.' 'We're leaving as a united group of friends,' one student says Tomer Velmer A unique group consisting of 220 Jewish, Arab, Druze, Bedouin and Christians teenagers is expected to visit Nazi concentration camps in Poland later this month. The participants are all students at Amal high schools across Israel. The trip will be held under the banner, "We are all part of same human fabric." Amal Group Director Shimon Cohen wrote a letter to the students, asking them to bring with them on their journey not just food and clothing but also patience, openness and attentiveness. The group decided to allow the students to experience both the suffering the Jewish people have gone through and the pain caused to other nations and religions in an attempt to acknowledge "the other". Preparing for the journey (Photo: Sami Kara) Many Amal schools are taking part in the special mission, including those in Shefaram, Rahat, Dimona, Hadera, Ofakim, and Kiryat Malakhi. Each student will pay roughly NIS 5,000 ($1,360) for the trip, part of which will be subsidized by Amal and the Education Ministry. Throughout their visit, the students will be divided into integrated groups consisting of Arab, Hebrew and English speakers. One big united group In preparation for their trip the students participated in a series of meetings aimed at connecting the different worlds they all come from. "The first few meetings were awkward for them due to cultural differences, and the fact that not all of them speak Hebrew," the project manager said.

  • Jnf Blueprint Negev: 2009 Campaign Update
    JNF BLUEPRINT NEGEV: 2009 CAMPAIGN UPDATE In the few years since its launch, great strides have been made in JNF’s Blueprint Negev campaign, an initiative to develop the Negev Desert in a sustainable manner and make it home to the next generation of Israel’s residents. In Be’er Sheva: More than $30 million has already been invested in a city that dates back to the time of Abraham. For years Be’er Sheva was an economically depressed and forgotten city. Enough of a difference has been made to date that private developers have taken notice and begun to invest their own money. New apartment buildings have risen, with terraces facing the riverbed that in the past would have looked away. A slew of single family homes have sprung up, and more are planned. Attracted by the River Walk, the biggest mall in Israel and the first “green” one in the country is Be’er Sheva River Park being built by The Lahav Group, a private enterprise, and will contribute to the city’s communal life and all segments of the population. The old Turkish city is undergoing a renaissance, with gaslights flanking the refurbished cobblestone streets and new restaurants, galleries and stores opening. This year, the municipality of Be’er Sheva is investing millions of dollars to renovate the Old City streets and support weekly cultural events and activities. And the Israeli government just announced nearly $40 million to the River Park over the next seven years. Serious headway has been made on the 1,700-acre Be’er Sheva River Park, a central park and waterfront district that is already transforming the city.

  • Do Executive Compensation Contracts Maximize Firm Value? Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment
    Do executive compensation contracts maximize firm value? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment Menachem (Meni) Abudy Bar-Ilan University, School of Business Administration, Ramat-Gan, Israel, 5290002 Dan Amiram Columbia University Graduate School of Business, 3022 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 Tel Aviv University, Coller School of Management, Ramat Aviv, Israel, 6997801 Oded Rozenbaum The George Washington University, 2201 G St. NW, Washington, DC 20052 Efrat Shust College of Management Academic Studies, School of Business, Rishon LeZion, Israel, 7549071 Current Draft: May 2017 First Draft: September 2016 For discussion purposes only. Please do not distribute. Please do not cite without the authors permission. Abstract: There is considerable debate on whether executive compensation contracts are a designed to maximize firm value or a result of rent extraction. The endogenous nature of executive pay contracts limits the ability of prior research to answer this question. In this study, we utilize the events surrounding a surprising and quick enactment of a new law that restricts executive pay to a binding upper limit in the insurance, investment and banking industries. This quasi-natural experiment enables clear identification. If compensation contracts are value maximizing, any outside restriction to the contract will diminish its optimality and hence should reduce firm value. In contrast to the predictions of the value maximization view of compensation contracts, we find significantly positive abnormal returns in these industries in multiple short term event windows around the passing of the law. We find that the effect is concentrated only for firms in which the restriction is binding. We find similar results using a regression discontinuity design, when we restrict our sample to firms with executive payouts that are just below and just above the law’s pay limit.

    1 Cohen Menachem (“Churchill”) (of blessed memory) Born in 1924 in Tel Aviv Joined the Palmach in 1942 Joined the Palyam in 1943 Died 4 November 1981 Written by: Avigail Cohen This is the Way it Was Menachem was born in the spring of 1924 in Tel Aviv. His mother, Yefiah Kles, was from Rishon Letzion and his father, Yehuda Cohen, had served in the Jewish Legion in World War I. In 1934 the men of the Jewish Legion founded Moshav Avichail and Menachem, his sister, and parents went there to live. In 1938, when he was 14, Menachem received field training with light weapons within the framework of the regional branch of the Hagana. He served in communications and in guard duty at the Moshav, as this was the beginning of the 1936-39 riots. In 1942 he joined “C” Company of the Palmach which was camped at Kibbutz Eilon and Kibbutz Hanita. He participated in a course for squad leaders and at the end of the same year volunteered for the first nautical course of the Palmach at Caesarea. This course lasted for several months and was difficult because it was winter and the weather was terrible. As a graduate of the course he became a small boat commander and handler experienced in all kinds of weather. He then returned to “C” Company and continued his squad leaders' course for a year. With that behind him he returned to Caesarea and became an instructor for the 4 th course, in which various platoons of the Palmach participated. In 1943, when the Naval Company of the Palmach was established, Menachem found his niche.
