Update to the Board of Governors UPDATE TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS Fall 2017 UPDATE TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS / Fall 2017 Dear Friends, We are pleased to send you the fall's update to the Board of Governors on activities, challenges, and ongoing issues. We always welcome your feedback and comments. Natan Sharansky Michael Siegal Chairman of the Executive Chairman of the Board Special Day at the Knesset During the Board of Governors Meetings On October 31, during the meetings of the Board of Governors, the Knesset hosted a meeting of The Jewish Agency’s Executive Committee, including a briefing and dialogue with the Speaker of the Knesset MK Yuli (Yoel) Edelstein. Afterward, members of the Board met simultaneously with more than 30 Ministers, Deputy Ministers and MKs, from across the political spectrum. They included Minister of Energy MK Yuval Steinitz, Minister of Education and Diaspora Affairs MK Naftali Bennett, Minister of Justice MK Ayelet Shaked and Minister of Aliyah and Absorption MK Sofa Landver. Following the meetings, we held a joint plenary of The Jewish Agency and the Knesset Caucus for Strengthening the Jewish People, hosted by the chairs of the Caucus, MK David Bitan and MK Dr. Nachman Shai. Thirty MKs, both from the coalition and the opposition, participated. The Jewish Agency leadership and the MKs engaged in a dialogue about the importance of pluralism in Israel and the unity of the Jewish people. UPDATE TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS / Fall 2017 “Brand Refresh” for The Jewish Agency The Jewish Agency’s Marketing Unit "soft launched" the organization’s “refreshed” brand at the October Board meetings with the 2016-17 Performance Report and a brand presentation to the Marketing & Communications Committee. The updates to the brand were also shared by FRD and Marketing staff to key Federation professionals at the JFNA’s recent General Assembly. The goal of refreshing the brand was not to change The Jewish Agency’s messaging, but rather to clarify it, by incorporating why we do what we do. Our new tagline, “Every one of us, together” reflects our core promise to make sure that every Jew is part of the Jewish story by connecting Jews to one another and to Israel – and that we work with all Jews, no matter where they are in the world. The Committee meeting in October also included a “breakout session” in which members discussed practical ways to assist Senior Development Officers, Shlichim and Federation staff in effectively communicating the new brand. All board members will have opportunities to learn more at the February meetings, when the Marketing Unit will launch the updated brand more broadly.

New Chef’s Program for Young Immigrants from France The Unit for Aliyah and Absorption has opened a new program for young adult immigrants from France, which both trains them in marketable skills and addresses the growing demand in Israel for qualified professionals in the culinary arts. While living at The Jewish Agency’s Beit Brodetsky center in Tel Aviv, the new olim study Hebrew three days a week, and spend the other three days studying at Michlelet Hachef (Chef College), where they are taught in French. The program began on November 1 with ten participants from Paris, two from Marseilles and two from Réunion. At Beit Brodetzky, young adult immigrants from all over the world, including the young French Jews in the chef’s program, enjoy social and cultural activities and trips around Israel, to help them learn more about their new homeland, as well as about Jewish and Israeli heritage. A team of committed, caring staff members guide them on their journey toward becoming empowered, self-sufficient Israelis. UPDATE TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS / Fall 2017 Seminars for Returned Shlichim As part of our “Bringing it Back Home” program for Returned Shlichim, The Jewish Agency hosted two seminars in the fall, the first for just-returned Community Shlichim, Campus Israel Fellows, and Service Year Shlichim (Shin-Shinim), and the second for just-returned Youth Movement Shlichim. All together, more than 200 former Shlichim returned to Israel over the summer, proud of their meaningful work overseas and also happy to once again celebrate the High Holidays with their families in Israel. The Bringing Shlichut Home seminars give newly-returned Shlichim an opportunity to process the Shlichut experience and the impact of Shlichut on their Jewish-Israeli identities, and to consider ways they can move forward, acting as agents of change in Israeli society. The Jewish Agency assists them in identifying ways that they can spread the values of Diaspora Jewry among Israelis and help other Israelis bond with their Diaspora peers – be in their professional lives, their studies, their communities, or their army units. Security Assistance Fund As 2017 draws to a close, the Jewish Agency Security Assistance Fund announces that it has allocated some $1 million to 75 institutions in 34 countries over the course of the year. Founded in 2012, the fund provides means for Jewish institutions worldwide (except North America) to install physical security measures such as bullet-proof windows, intercom systems, and x-ray scanners. In total the fund has allocated more than $9.5 million to 220 communities and organizations in 54 countries. In recent years, the fund has focused on western Europe. Makom’s “Four Hatikvah Questions” We are delighted to announce that Makom, the Jewish Agency Israel Education Lab, has received a $1.2 million grant from the Jim Joseph Foundation to run a three-year training project with Moishe House. The training project will empower Moishe House directors across North America to implement honest and relevant conversations about Israel through Makom’s signature “4HQ” approach.

  • Project Democracy: Fighting for the Ground Rules
    Project Democracy: Fighting for the Ground Rules Chapter 4: Freedom of Speech, Dissent, and Political Activity Freedom of speech is a basic human right and an essential component of any democracy. It is this freedom that enables citizens to exchange views and information, to protest against injustice, to influence the public discourse, and to criticize the actions of the government. As such, freedom of speech represents a necessary condition for the informed and effective political participation of a country's citizenry. Restrictions on free speech cause harm to democratic life and stands in contradiction to the fundamental principles of democracy – that government should impose no more than the necessary minimum of restrictions on individuals, especially regarding their basic rights. The safeguarding of free speech is especially critical for defending the rights of minority groups. Minorities often suffer from limited political influence and limited access to the corridors of power, and so the arena of public expression is where they are best able to give voice to their positions, to protest, and to influence public opinion. In numerous and unrelenting rulings and legal decisions, Israel's Supreme Court has defended freedom of speech, calling it “the lifeline of democracy.” In these principled rulings, time after time the justices have affirmed that the true test of freedom of speech is not the defense of commonly accepted statements – which no one seeks to limit anyway – but of statements considered irritating, extreme, and unexceptional. Over the last two years, we have witnessed increasing threats in Israel to freedom of speech and those freedoms which derive from it: The right to demonstrate, freedom of the press, academic freedom and freedom of political activity.

  • Hamas Type of Organization
    Hamas Name: Hamas Type of Organization: Political religious social service provider terrorist violent Ideologies and Affiliations: Islamist jihadist Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group pan-Islamist Qutbist Sunni Place of Origin: Gaza Strip Year of Origin: 1987 Founder(s): Ahmed Yassin, Mahmoud Zahar, Hassan Yousef, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, Mohammed Hassan Shama’a, Abdul Fattah Hassan Dukhan, Ibrahim Fares Al-Yazouri, Salah Shahada (Founder of the Qassam Brigades), Issa Al-Nashar Places of Operation: Gaza Strip, West Bank, Israel, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran Overview Also Known As: Harakat al-Muqawana al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement); Al-Tiar Al-Islami (The Islamic Stream); Al-Athja Al-Islami (The Islamic Trend)1 Executive Summary Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood [1] that emerged in the Gaza Strip in the late 1980s, during the first Palestinian intifada (uprising) against Israel. The group’s ideology blends Islamism and Palestinian nationalism and seeks the destruction of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.Since 2017, Hamas claims to have severed its ties to the Brotherhood. The group also receives financial and military support from Iran. Qatar has also provided significant funding for the group. Hamas uses its provision of social services to build support amongst grassroots Palestinians, helping it to win the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. However, the group’s engagement in politics and welfare has not tempered its commitment to terrorism. Hamas’s preferred methods include suicide bombings, rocket and mortar attacks, shootings, and kidnappings. Hamas as a whole or its armed faction have been labeled terrorist organizations by the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, the European Union, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan.

  • Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

  • The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’
    BICOM Briefing The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’ June 2021 The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’ On Wednesday evening, 2 June, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid informed President Rivlin that he had succeeded in forming a coalition government, adding that it would “work for all the citizens of Israel, those that voted for it and those that didn’t. It will do everything to unite Israeli society”. Swearing the new government into office, which only requires only a relative majority, will take place within the next 11 days. Yamina’s Naftali Bennett will serve as Prime Minister for the first two years, followed by Lapid. Maariv 1 June, Bennett and Lapid stare lovingly at eachother as the sun – with the face of Netan- yahu sets The Change Government How did we get here? The elections for the 24th Knesset which took place on 23 March 2021 gave neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the anti-Netanyahu bloc a clear majority of 61 seats. Following the results, two parties who defined themselves as unaligned were considered to be key to both sides - Naftali Bennett of Yamina (7 seats) and Mansour Abbas of Raam (4 seats). Bennett emphasised his preference for a right-wing and ultra- Orthodox coalition. When Likud sources sent out feelers to Raam to support the government from outside 2 the coalition, that move was opposed by Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionist party. With Saar unwilling to sit with Netanyahu, and Smotrich unwilling to countenance outside support from Raam, the pro-Netanyahu right-wing/ultra-Orthodox coalition could only muster 59 seats.

  • Israel 2020 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, its parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve itself and mandate elections. On March 2, Israel held its third general election within a year, which resulted in a coalition government. On December 23, following the government’s failure to pass a budget, the Knesset dissolved itself, which paved the way for new elections scheduled for March 23, 2021. Under the authority of the prime minister, the Israeli Security Agency combats terrorism and espionage in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The national police, including the border police and the immigration police, are under the authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for external security but also have some domestic security responsibilities and report to the Ministry of Defense. Israeli Security Agency forces operating in the West Bank fall under the Israeli Defense Forces for operations and operational debriefing. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. The Israeli military and civilian justice systems have on occasion found members of the security forces to have committed abuses. Significant human

  • What Do You Think Are the Important Jewish Issues That Could Be
    What do you think are the important Jewish issues that could be significantly influenced by philanthropic intervention if the Jewish community could devote sufficient resources on a large scale? What types of interventions would be most effective? Dr. Nachman Shai was elected to the 18th Knesset in February 2009. In his capacity as a Knesset Member on behalf of the Kadima party, he is a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee; the Economic Affairs Committee and the Committee on the Status of Women.

Israel is at a very important juncture regarding its internal affairs – namely, the struggle for democracy and the continually deepening social crisis. As for democracy, the general public's inclination toward the religious right has brought heavy pressure on democratic institutions - the Supreme Court, the Knesset, the Media to conform with the political majority, and in this way, to harm the democratic foundations of the State.
