The Center is funded by a permanent endowment created by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation, the Herbert M. and Nell Singer Foundation, Jane and John Colman, the Kolker-Saxon-Hallock Family Foundation, the Milton A. and Roslyn Z. Wolf Family Foundation, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

According to an estimate based on the results of the municipal amalgamations reform carried out in Israel in 2003 (Reingewertz, 2012), thanks to the economies of scale in providing public services, these unifications are expected to generate savings of approximately NIS 131 million per annum.

  • The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods
    The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods Ruth Amir, Yezreel Valley College, Israel Abstract Between 1948 and 1954, at least 1,500 children between 0-4 years had disappeared from childcare facilities and hospitals in tent camps, transit camps, and hospitals in Israeli towns. About two-thirds were of Yemeni origin. Although these disappearances follow a shared pattern, the Yemeni case stands out due to a directive issued by the cabinet that ordered the forcible removal of Yemeni infants to infants’ homes in the immigrants’ camps. Three commissions of inquiry investigated this ethnically-based child- removal policy, yet its dire consequences were never challenged or reviewed. What remains missing from the accounts is a gendered and intersectional perspective of the involvement of women’s organizations and the mothers’ experiences. I The Yemeni, Mizrahi and Balkan Children Affair (hereinafter the Affair) permeates the Israeli public agenda in a tenacious cyclicality for nearly 80 years. Three commissions of inquiry that investigated the children’s whereabouts have not only left many open questions but generated new ones. Questions such as the number of disappeared children and the temporal framework remain uncertain and contested, and so are the grim outcomes. Nevertheless, beyond these important questions, other queries keep accumulating. Who ordered the removal of children from their parents? Why were the children forcibly removed? How was it justified? Were children of other ethnicities also targeted? Moreover, there is a need for a gendered perspective for construing women and feminist organizations’ involvement on the one hand and the victims’ intersectionality on the other.
