  • Ausblick: Der Weg Des Zionismus Von Der Utopie Zur Wirklichkeit
    Ausblick: Der Weg des Zionismus von der Utopie zur WIrklichkeit Die so ausstrahlungskräftigen politischen Führungspersönlichkeiten Israels, derer es nicht wenige gab und die alles andere als unumstritten blieben, faszinierten in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten und nicht zuletzt von lCJ77 bis 1983, bis zum Rücktritt Menahem Begins, die Beobachter der israelischen Politik. Nicht allen gefiel alles an den israelischen Politikern. Aber selten blieb man ihnen gegenüber gleichgültig. Israel, Israelis und beson­ ders israelische Politiker polarisierten, nach außen ebenso wie nach innen. Durch eine Personalisierung der Politik könnte man leicht vergessen, daß die gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Probleme Israels weniger mit "großen" Männern und Frauen als vielmehr mit der Identität des jüdi• schen Staates zusammenhängen. Der Staat steckt in einer ,Identitäts• krise', die eine bislang nie gekannte Polarisierung und, daraus abgelei­ tet, auch im Weltjudentum bewirkt hat (vgl. Wolffsohn, 1983 b). Diese Identitätskrise hat einen arabisch-jüdischen sowie einen innerjüdischen Aspekt. Zunächst zum arabisch-jüdischen Bereich: Der Krieg gegen die PLO im Libanon, besonders die Massaker in den heiden Beiruter Flüchtlingslagern (1982), hat den Israelis deutlicher als frühere Ereig­ nisse die Kosten des eigenen Erfolges drastisch vor Augen geführt. Dies bezieht sich auf den Kampf gegen die PLO, ja sogar auf das zionistische Autbauwerk schlechthin: Sollte das Leid der Palästinenser der Preis für einen jüdischen Staat sein? fragen erstmals seit dem Herbst 1982 nicht nur Randgruppen sondern weite Kreise der Bevölkerung Israels. Zugleich wurden Zweifel an der Strategie der militärischen Hegemo­ nie, d.h. der militärischen Übermacht laut. Bislang hieß es immer, Is­ rael müsse militärische Übermacht besitzen, damit die Araber nicht den jüdischen Staat vernichten könnten.

  • Calgary Jewish Community Council and Its Successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, During an Incredibly Busy and Productive Year
    Rededicating Renewing Rejewvenating Annual Report 2010 – 2011 | 5771 President and Interim Executive Director’s Message It is a real pleasure to share in these pages the accomplishments of Calgary Jewish Community Council and its successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, during an incredibly busy and productive year. Our efforts this past year have been focused on renewing and “rejewvenating” our Jewish community through education, inclusion and leadership development. We reached in to the unaffiliated and reached out to the greater Calgary community. And we are proud to say that we brought the joys of “doing Jewish” to an increasing number of men, women and children. We have a new name and new logo. Calgary Jewish Federation is now our community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body, completing a process that began with our March 2007 Strategic Plan for Ensuring the Future of the Jewish Community. This year, Federation and CJCC share one annual report. Henceforth, we will operate independently of one another. CJCC will continue to proudly serve the community, but will function independently as a not-for-profit organization tasked with coordinating local Israel advocacy efforts and promoting projects and programs with our sister region of Etzba HaGalil (the Galilee Panhandle) in Northern Israel. Another major undertaking during the past year was our search for a new Executive Director, and we are very pleased to welcome Drew Staffenberg back to Calgary in that capacity. Having served the community so capably from 1983 through 1993, Drew returns to us with outstanding experience in campus development and we are thrilled that he will help us to achieve our dream of a Jewish community campus.

  • Background United Israel Appeal the Jewish Federations of North America ______
    BACKGROUND UNITED ISRAEL APPEAL THE JEWISH FEDERATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ History United Israel Appeal (“UIA”) was first established in 1925 as the United Palestine Appeal (“UPA”) in order to unify fundraising in America for a Jewish national homeland. Keren Hayesod, the fundraising organization for the Jewish Agency, Hadassah, Hebrew University, the Jewish National Fund and Mizrachi were the constituents. UPA was dissolved in 1930 and reconstituted in 1936 by Keren Hayesod and the Jewish National Fund. In 1938, UPA entered into a partnership with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (“JDC”) to found the United Jewish Appeal (“UJA”). UIA has undergone vast changes since those early days. In addition to the partnership begun in 1938, the most significant changes prior to 2000 came in 1971 as a result of the reconstitution of the Jewish Agency for Israel. After the Reconstitution Agreement, for the first time, American Jewish leaders from federations, as well as all the American Zionist organizations, served as members of the UIA Board. UIA was allocated 30% of the seats on the Board of Governors (“BOG”) of the Jewish Agency. UIA appointed federation representatives to the Jewish Agency Board, while the American Zionist organizations had seats on the Jewish Agency Board through their membership in the World Zionist Organization (“WZO”). The Reconstitution Agreement in 1971 was followed by UIA naming the Jewish Agency for Israel as its exclusive operating agent in Israel. In 1999, United Jewish Communities (“UJC”) was created as a merger of UIA, National UJA and the Council of Jewish Federations (“CJF”), into a single, national organization.

These financial statements are the responsibility of The Agency’s Board of Governors and Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

Furthermore, we did not audit the financial statements of associated companies in which the investment was approximately $8 million and $7 million as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The financial statements of the above entities were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for those entities, is based on the reports of the other auditors.

  • Annual Convention
    THE YEAR IN REVIEW TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OCTOBER 20-23, 1966 STATLER HILTON HOTEL NEW YORK, N.Y. ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA THE YEAR IN REVIEW IH ANNUAL CONVENTION OCTOBER 20-23, 1966 STATLER HILTON HOTEL NEW YORK, N.Y. ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA OPENING OF ANNUAL ZOA DINNER, November 28, 1965 at Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City. Appraising Our Progress THE YEAR 5726 The ZOA year reviewed in the pages of this report can be termed a period of consolidation and expansion. One of our chief aims was to consolidate the advances achieved the year before, seeking at the same time to enlarge the scale and scope of our operations and to search for new, often unorthodox, ways to systematic and steady development. The measure of our progress is the discernible improvement in ZOA's pres- tige and image and the growing morale and confidence in ZOA ranks. These intangible factors are of great promise and potential. They should hearten and spur us to accelerated effort in the year ahead. As introduction to the record that follows I wish to point out briefly a few of the specific accomplishments of the past year and some of its shortcomings. Such a summary, I hope, will serve to lend perspective and proportion to the detailed reports as well as to the deliberations of the National Convention. SOME FORWARD STEPS • A broad revision in Regioml budgeting and fund-raising commitments was initiated. So far it has already covered thirteen Regions. Its aim was to assure an orderly transfer to the National Organization of all funds raised under the AZF banner and to meet the realistic needs of the Regions and Districts.
