The annual food subsidy for 15 elderly Jews in the former Soviet Union to participate in a warm house is $2,500. The Meaning of A Campaign Through the ages, Jewish survival has always depended on Jews taking care of Jews. Local Jewish community organizations emerged before the Civil War. In the early years of this century, mass immigration brought forth new institutions for immigrant aid. A large population infused American Jewish communities with viality and encouraged develop­ ment of numerous educational, health and social services. Gradu­ ally, American Jewry became prosperous and self-confident enough to reach out to help Jews abroad. The condition of Jews in devastated Europe after the First World War, and later European refugees fleeing Nazi persecution, inspired enormous sffort from american Jewry, largely through the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

It calls forth leadership and starts people thinking and Jews and Jews in Israel constantly readjusted and balanced for the planning for the future. It builds up the community and creates "FOR OURSELVES, FOR OUR CHILDREN, FOR ISRAEL, FOREVER" January Shofar Page 3 FEDERATION CAMPAIGN Dear Friends, The 1997 Federation Campaign is moving towards a successful wrap up as we enter the new year. After careful deliberation, a goal of $800,000 was set for the 1997 campaign. Objectives for the campaign were outlined as well. Enthusiasm and excitement began to build when we sat down with campaign volunteers to strategize and plan for the solicitation of each divi­ sion. It was teamwork all the way. It was so exciting to be with others as focused and determined as we to see the Campaign succeed. It was our goal to educate each person we spoke to about how your gifts are spent and the purposes for which the funds are raised. We hoped we could bring you closer to the importance ofthe Campaign to so many here in Chattanooga, in Israel and beyond. So much can be made ofthe fact that we have an obligation to each other, that we hold each other in trust, yet when die other person is half a world away, out of sight, it is hard to hold that person close. Certainly traveling to Israel brings it all home. And right here in Chattanooga we can see our Campaign dollars at work nurturing and build­ ing a stronger Jewish community. Social services; transportation for se­ niors; programs to benefit families, children, singles and newcomers to Chat­ tanooga abound throughout the year funded by your support. Rosalee Bogo, Women's Division Campaign events which were held included the Major Gifts Dinner, the Men's Campaign Training Breakfast and the Women's Campaign Train­ ing/ Culinary Night as well as the Major Gifts Dinner and Men's and Women's Telethon. These events served to provide momentum, heightened awareness and express appreciation to those who have taken on the volunteer chal­ lenge. The essence of true volunteerism is not in the time spent on a cam­ paign, it is in the commitment held. Each volunteer expressed themselves with a commitment of time and support. We want to continue to thank Michael Lebovitz, Jay Menuskin, Robert Siskin, Helen Pregulman, Claire Binder, Pris Siskin, Gary Chazen, Merv Pregulman, John Pregulman, Vince Pellegrino, Colman Hochman, Sanford Winer, Stuart Bush, Albert Wolff, Bob Berz, Dr. Jeff Balser, Dr. Frank Miller, Dr. Hyman Kaplan, Dr. Sam Binder, Dr. Stuart Frank, Dr. Steve Ulin, Dr. Joel Ginsberg, David Gimple, Jonathan Minnen, Joel Altman-Shafer, Michael Mallen, David Binder, Richard Zachary, Lee Brouner, Larry Zuckerman, Roy Rosenfeld, Sam Roistacher, Patrick McFadden, Jay Susman, Jed Mescon, Michael Spector, Mark Spector, Dr. Ernie Kresch, Dr. Ira Kraus, Michael Dzik, Amelia Allen, Miriam Levine, Marlene Gary Chazen, Campaign General Chair Perlman, Lynn Hochman, Donna Tabb, Bertha Miller, Marjorie Goldberg, Nada Ginsburg, Gerry Sadow, Judy Sachsman, Edie Redish, Merle Backer, Nancy Ulin, Elaine Winer, Candi Kruesi, Rachel Sadowitz, Susan Kaplan, Barnetta Allen, Susan Distefano, Felice Klein, Clara Shoenig, Joy Adams, Owen Allen, Bruce Goldberg, and Alvin Shoenig for their participation in the 1997 Campaign drive. As we look toward our future, we are beginning the development of a long range strategic plan for the Federation. It will be a look backward, a perspective on the present and a vision for the future of Chattanooga's Jew­ ish community, support oflsrael and a guide for future campaigns. With Campaign 1997 drawing to a close, our goal of $800,000 is within our reach ifeveryone will do their part. In our community of 1,350 members, it is crucial for everyone to think, my gift is "for ourselves, for our children, for Israel...forever." If you will help us reach the goal, we will succeed and we will guarantee our future together.

    Distr. GENERAL S/8818 1)' September 1968 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH r LETTER DATED 17 SEPTEMBER1968 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF ISRAEL ADDRESSEDTO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL On instructions from my Government, I have the honour to refer to my letter of 26 August 1968 (S/8774.) concerning repeated violations of the cease-fire by Jordan and to draw your attention to the continuation and intensification of military attacks from Jordanian territory against Israel since that date, Yesterday, 16 September, at approximately 1000 hours local time, Jordanian forces on the East Bank of the Jordan opened mortar and small arms fire on Israeli forces near Maoz Haim in the Beit Shean Valley. One Israeli soldier was killed and three were wounded. Fire was returned in self-defence. During the night the town of Beit Shean itself was shelled by 130 mm rockets fired from the East Bank of the Jordan. These rockets, of Czechoslovakian manufacture, are standard equipment in Arab armies. As a result of this attack, eight civilians were wounded, The Israel forces fired back on targets across the border from Beit Shean, in the Irbid area. Again, last night, at 2345 hours, artillery and mortar fire was opened on Israeli forces on the West Bank near the Allenby Bridge, from Jordanian territory on the East Bank of the Jordan. Fire was returned in self-defence and the exchange continued until 0300 this morning. These recent incidents follow a series of grave Jordanian violations of the cease-fire during the last three weeks , particulars of the more serious of which are contained in the attached list.

It is truly a daunting task to thank everyone. I extend a sincere and loving thank you to Adina, Aron, Roni, and Alon Shorr for graciously hosting me and providing me with moral support during my two month research trip in Israel. The same gratitude goes to Martin and Tamar Shacham-Barr for helping me coordinate my visits to the Golani Brigade Archive and Museum and hosting me during my many weekend hafsakot in the Galil. In addition, thank you to Noam Lekach, my friend and roommate, for providing so much moral support and helping me translate ideas and emotions that were seemingly untranslatable. I am indebted to Professor Ilan Troen for drawing my attention to the existence of Yizkor literature. Without this suggestion I may never have stumbled onto this treasure trove. Thank you to Professors Maoz Azaryahu and Uri Bialer for meeting with me in Israel to organize my ideas, Professor Yael Zerubavel for pointing me in the direction of background material, and Professor Kanan Makiya for his continued support and friendship.

  • Jeroen Kool Final Report of the Regional NGO Master Plan
    Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace VOL 13 Jeroen Kool Sustainable Development in the Jordan Valley Final Report of the Regional NGO Master Plan Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace Volume 13 Series editor Hans Günter Brauch, Studies (AFES-PRESS), Peace Research and European Security, Mosbach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany A peer-reviewed multidisciplinary Series of Reference Books and Monographs This book series includes monographs and edited volumes that cross scientific disciplines and develop common ground among scientists from the natural and social sciences, as well as from North and South, addressing common challenges and risks for humankind in the 21st century. The ‘hexagon’ represents six key factors contributing to global environmental change— three nature-induced or supply factors: soil, water and air (atmosphere and climate), and three human-induced or demand factors: population (growth), urban systems (habitat, pollution) and rural systems (agriculture, food). Throughout the history of the earth and of Homo sapiens these six factors have interacted. The supply factors have created the preconditions for life while human behavior and economic consumption patterns have also contributed to its challenges (increase in extreme weather events) and fatal outcomes for human beings and society. The series covers the complex interactions among these six factors and their often extreme and in a few cases fatal outcomes (hazards/disasters, internal displacement and migrations, crises and conflicts), as well as crucial social science concepts relevant for their analysis. Further issues related to three basic areas of research: approaches and schools of environment, security, and peace, especially in the environmental security realm and from a human security perspective, will be addressed.
