INTRODUCCIÓN Hoy día existen en España más de 215 millones de olivos en una superficie de alrededor de 2 millones de hectáreas, lo que representa el 27% de la superficie mundial, y coloca a España en el primer puesto mundial en la producción y exportación de aceite de oliva. En el año 2000, la producción nacional de aceite de oliva superó el millón de toneladas. En ese mismo año, España exportó al mundo aceite de oliva por valor de más de 900.000 millones de Euros. La importancia de estos y muchos otros datos justifica sobradamente la realización de este estudio de mercado. Pero existen además otras razones para analizar en profundidad el mercado del aceite de oliva en Israel. Este es un país en constante crecimiento demográfico (casi 6 millones y medio de habitantes en 2001). El poder adquisitivo de los israelíes es elevado, situándose en torno a los 17.000 dólares. Culturalmente, a pesar de sus muchas peculiaridades, Israel tiene muchos puntos en común con España, dado el carácter mediterráneo de ambos países. -

Encountering the Nakba Slideshow Notes
Encountering the Nakba: Slideshow Notes Slide 1: What is the Nakba? ● “Nakba” is an Arabic word that means “great disaster” or “catastrophe.” On November 29, 1947, the UN General Assembly approved a plan to partition Mandate Palestine between Jews and [Palestinian] Arabs to follow the end of the British Mandate on May 14, 1948. ● About 750,000 [Palestinian] Arabs—the figure was later to be a major point of dispute, the Israelis officially speaking of some 520,000, the Palestinian themselves of 900,000-1,000,000—were ejected or fled from the areas that became the State of Israel and resettled in the territories that became known as the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as Transjordan, Syria, and Lebanon. In addition, some people also fled to Egypt, Iraq, and the states of the Arabian Peninsula. The war’s end found less than half of the Palestinians in their original homes—fewer than 150,000 in Israel, some 400,000 in the West Bank, and 60,000 in the Gaza Strip. ● Palestinians commemorate the Nakba on May 15, the day after the anniversary of Israel’s independence (Yom HaAtzmaut), according to the Gregorian calendar. ● The Nakba is a foundational event in the history of Palestine and of Israel. While most Jews in Israel aren’t familiar with the term, it is a central element of Palestinian collective identity. Its absence/presence (as we will see below) structures the identity of Israeli society and its reality. In the course of this slideshow we will see that the Nakba is present not only in the memories of Palestinians both within and outside of Israel, but is a palpable, physical presence throughout Israel, if one only looks with fresh eyes. -

Kvutzat Yavne As Her Home
Organizational Psychology: A Week on a Kibbutz Michal Kohane – PsyD I grew up in Israel. When I share that with people, they often ask me: ‘So, did you grow up in a kibbutz?’ The kibbutz as a way of life, has become famous the world over. Volunteers from various countries arrive annually to work and study in the many kibbutzim around the country, but most people in Israel, myself included, don’t live in them. I grew up in the city. I spent very little time on kibbutzim, mostly when I was sent to a summer camp which was held there, but never really living, and never as an adult. The opportunity to spend time on a kibbutz recently and look at it with new insights came semi- unexpectedly: this time it was not my mother sending me there, but my daughter who decided to make Aliya (emigrated to Israel), and as part of the program she joined, was assigned Kvutzat Yavne as her home. Kvutzat Yavne is located 5km east of the city of Ashdod, about an hour of south Tel Aviv. In 2007 census, it had a population of 1,100. It is unusual for several reasons: one, it is one of very few religious kibbutzim in the country, and two, it is one of the last strongholds of a kibbutz which has not been privatized, thus exhibiting some of the typical aspects of the old fashion kibbutz. It’s five o’clock in the morning and I can’t sleep. The noise outside is almost deafening yet pleasant. -

New Religious Zionist Program Leader “We Israelis need to wake up and act to connect the two parts of the Jewish nation” Program Update A recent socially-distanced program meeting Both the first and second program cohorts have continued meeting virtually and in- person. The first cohort continues in its second year, expanding on ideas from the first year and working with the Pnima Social Movement (led by Religious Zionist Rabbi and former Knesset Education Minister Shai Piron) to design interventions and widen their impact. The second cohort is undergoing the program as planned, encountering diverse communities and viewpoints in Israel, reaching into the Jewish bookshelf to arrive at new interpretations of modern life and the Religious Zionist community's role, and growing their sense of solidarity with the society around them. "We are here together, and no matter how much we argue, we will end up going to sleep in the same place we all call homeland.” Updated Accomplishments A conversation between a female Reform rabbi and an Orthodox Rabbi in Makor Rishon's recent, first-ever International Diaspora Conference We are proud to present the following list of 17 real-world interventions carried out by program participants, working to build solidarity in Israeli society and the Jewish diaspora (full list here). -
