    I am thrilled to welcome you to Hillel International’s fi rst annual Global Assembly. I am excited for what the next days will bring, and grateful that you could join us to participate in this important convening. The decision to hold a professional gathering is not a new one—years ago, Hillel professionals would gather annually to meet one another and create the vision for the year ahead. When I started my tenure as President of Hillel International, I knew that we must bring back this type of convening. This year, we gather for the fi rst time as a truly global movement, and notably, the largest gathering of Hillel professionals in history. This Hillel International: Global Assembly gives us an opportunity to refl ect on how we have grown in the past year, to celebrate the great work that many of our colleagues have been doing on campus and in the community, to think critically and thoughtfully about our goals for the year ahead, and most importantly to learn from each other. While we are all together, I encourage you to meet with many of your peers and share the exciting activities that are taking place on campus. Informal and interpersonal education has proven to be a critical source of learning, and Hillel International: Global Assembly has included a number of peer-to-peer networking sessions for that very purpose. I cannot wait to begin our time together in Orlando, and I look forward to seeing many of you over the course of the next few days.

INSTITUTION Congress of the U.S., Washington, E.C. House Ccmmittee on Education and Labcr. PUB DATE Aug 70 NOTE 237p. 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.

  • The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy
    religions Article The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy Cary Nelson English Department, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 20 June 2019; Published: 22 June 2019 Abstract: The new millennium has seen increased hostility to Israel among many progressive constituencies, including several mainline Protestant churches. The evangelical community in the US remains steadfastly Zionist, so overall support for financial aid to Israel remain secure. But the cultural impact of accusations that Israel is a settler colonialist or apartheid regime are nonetheless serious; they are proving sufficient to make support for the Jewish state a political issue for the first time in many decades. Despite a general movement in emphasis from theology to politics in church debate, there remain theological issues at the center of church discussion. The Protestant church with the longest running and most well-funded anti-Zionist constituency is the Presbyterian church in the US. In the last decade, its Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) has produced several increasingly anti-Zionist books designed to propel divestment resolutions in the church’s annual meeting. The most widely debated of these was 2014’s Zionism Unsettled: A Congregational Study Guide. This essay mounts a detailed analysis and critique of the book which documents the IPMN’s steady movement toward antisemitic positions. Among the theological issues underlying debate in Protestant denominations are the status of the divine covenant with the Jewish people, the role that the gift of land has as part of that covenant, and the nature of the characterization of the Jews as a “chosen people”.
