It is prqx>sed to establish a series of Kil:bltz Institutes for Jewish Experience. 'lbese Institutes, located in kili:l.ltzim, will be fw"mnentally changed versialS of what have cane to be koown as kilx:utz ulpanim for the sbxiy of Hebrew (various programs operated in kil:t,utzim by various ncvnents ' \lOOer a variety of names have built Upal the basic "ulpan" framework). We have asked oorselves a number of questia,s: ~bat is the best way to intm'W the effect of ocntact with the kibbutz as a factor making for l~-tem Jewish a:mnittnent? Of the 20, UOO young people who visit kil:bltzim annually £ran one day to a year on a variety of programs, including sane 3,000 participants in ki.brutz ulpanirn - which type of program should we start with as a lever for improvement? 'Mlat is there al:0ut a stay in kibhltz whic.'1, if we "work it right," is to be fO\ll'D cruy in a kilbltz, is attractive to young people arxl can be used consciously as an educational factor? 'Ihe answers we came up with were the following: the kibbutz is a 1 11 tix>listic · enviran"TIE!nt - where one can integrate intellectual sbxly, erootiooal e>:perience and actual behavioral interaction - thus addressing all of these three elerents mald..ng far possible ccmnitnent. FurtheI1IDre, because it is a ~lete way of life, it enables the participant to enter these 3 .-2- areas beginning with his own point of interest - whether it be work , sport, music, dance, politics, or acade:nic stooy. 'Ihis possibility, arrl the research available, supp:>rts the asslr.lPtioo that long-term cxmnitmant correlates with kibb.ltz programs which were relatively successfully inplemented. This does n~ necessarily ha~ in every kibbutz or in every program. What goes wrong in. unsuccessful f~rks arrl what can we do to ensure their success? What type of program shrul.d we begin with? We have chosen to establish the Kibrutz Institutes for Jewish Experience ( and the change in name is deliberate; it represents a change i n educatiooal awroach) because the length of the ulpan- type program is suitable - a minimum anotmt of time is needed far educational affectiveness - because a significant arrl successful change of four such programs wil l positively affect all kil:butz ulpanim. '1be proposal itself is ocntained in the follc:Min:;J pages.

  • It's That Time Again, High Season, Lots of Activity, Bustling Around from Morning
    It’s that time again, high season, lots of activity, bustling around from morning ‘til night. And we all have our favorite things we look forward to year after year. Well, this season, here’s something really special to add to that list! On March 18th, the Israel Tennis Centers Foundation, in partnership with Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, will host an exhibition with their student team from Israel, at the Players Club & Spa at Lely Resort in Naples. The exhibition is part of their 2019 Winter exhibition tour. By the time the team reaches Naples, they will have swung through over 15 appearances across South Florida during February and March. The Israel Tennis Centers Foundation holds exhibition cycles several times a year, bringing diverse teams of children to the US, that take part in their educational and sports programs across Israel. This season’s team is a multicultural group of 4 Israeli junior tennis players, including Koral, a 17-year-old girl from Tel Aviv; Jasmine, a 10-year-old Arab girl from Akko; Ariel, a 10-year-old boy from Tel Aviv and Tuval, a 19-year-old young man also from Tel Aviv. The team will be coached by ITC Alumnus and former #18 in the world in Singles, Amos Mansdorf. During their US appearances, in addition to exhibiting their skills on court, these youth ambassadors will share their personal stories about the impact of the ITC on their lives off court, on their families and the communities in which they live. The ITC represents a safe and nurturing educational environment in which these children can learn vital life values while sharpening their tennis skills.

We have developed these guidelines for use with our transliterated documents. They may or may not apply to transliterations put out by other movements including the various organizations teaching Kabbalah. a as in Creator ai as in aisle e as in red ei as in eight i as in pizza o as in no oy as in toy u as in tune ch as in Bach in German (strong sound from the throat) g as in give tz as in lots ’ typically adds an “EH” sound after a consonant, this is known as a Shva Na or pronounced Shva as in the word “Sh’ma”. - a dash is simply used to aid in pronounciation, usually if two like vowels follow each other, as in the word “da-at.” In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls somewhere else in the word. In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkǨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.

Reproduction Its life cycle involves a small (usually < 2 mm) benthic polyp stage that reproduces asexually, and a large swimming medusa stage that reproduces sexually. Spawning usually occurs in July and August. Similar Species The most similar jellyfish is the native Mediterranean Rhizostoma pulmo. It differs from Rhopilema nomadica in its smooth bell surface and a dark purple band around its undulated margin. It has four pairs of very large mouth arms on its under surface but no tentacles. Another common native species is Pelagia noctiluca. It is much smaller and mushroom-shaped, with a bell up to 10 cm in diameter. The medusa varies from pale red to mauve-brown or purple in colour and the bell surface is covered in pink granules.
