The Alma Center Our Vision & Mission The Alma Center Our Vision & Mission Understanding the Security Challenges on Israel`s Northern Borders Education | Research | Media From our CEO Founding the Alma Center is a dream come true for me. Ever since I was a student of Middle Eastern Studies at the Ben-Gurion University, I felt that another perspective was needed on the way the events in the Middle East are discussed. This feeling has only intensified in recent years, during which the global media has become very polarized, with a disproportionate emphasis on the placement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a primary cause in the instability of the Middle East. As a resident of the Galilee for the past 11 years, I have developed a different perspective on the questions I dealt with as a student and later on, as an intelligence officer in the IDF. I wanted to bring an authentic and professional viewpoint to those who had never been exposed to the myriad of complexities in the Middle East, especially outside of Israel. A year ago, I established Alma, a unique Center that focuses primarily on Israel's security challenges on its northern borders. The Center's activities combine educational content – provided by the Center's diverse team of speakers, to varied groups from abroad - together with professional, qualitative and comprehensive research that highlights and analyzes events that are significant to the security of the State of Israel. The Alma Center is located in the Western Galilee region of northern Israel, and all staff members are residents of the Galilee and the Golan Heights. I can admit that I could not have imagined that in a few months from the beginning, we would establish such an impressive Center, offering interactive and one-of-its-kind experiences for visiting groups. During the early days of the Center, I came to the realization that even senior officials and other opinion makers from the Academic and media arenas in the US and Europe, are craving for the knowledge we provide - professional, coherent and spiced with a personal and authentic point of view. On a personal note, I would like to thank my team for their inspiring creativity and dedication; to our treasured clients who have believed in our vision from the outset; to the elite group of philanthropic donors who have helped me to establish Alma as an independent, non-profit organization; and to the Galila Foundation, who have supported and nurtured me from the outset and provides me with the tools to develop Alma as a globally-recognized Israeli think-tank that has gained significance and influence in the international arena. Lt. Col. (res.) Sarit Zehavi, Founder and CEO of Alma 1 What is Alma? Alma is a non-profit education and research center (501c3), founded by Lt.Col Sarit Zehavi. Alma is dedicated to researching the security challenges on Israel’s northern borders and sharing our conclusions with the world. We focus on opinion makers, research centers, academia and all those interested in an in-depth appreciation of the multi-dimensional complexities in the Middle East. Alma takes pride in providing an authentic, unique and professional perspective regarding the areas on both sides of the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel. Our research interweaves the special diversity of societies along those borders with geography, politics and military capabilities – all combining together to impact the ever-changing security climate in the region. Living alongside Israel`s volatile northern borders can be quite challenging but is definitely interesting and dynamic. In order to understand what is happening on the other side of the borders, we personally explore and study the challenges in northern Israel by visiting different sites on the Syrian and Lebanese borders, collect information from various sources in multiply languages and analyze meaningful events that can directly influence Israel`s security in the future. In the ever-changing Middle East, it is very important to stay on guard and be updated. No day seems like the one before. We at Alma provide significant, original and well-illustrated research material, based on a deep understanding of the security situation. All of Alma`s researchers and speakers are residents of Israel`s northern border communities and together with their personal and professional experiences, they hold an authentic view point of the developments in the neighborhood. 2 Production of research products and accessories _ Social Media: thousands were exposed to our daily publications _ Research Department Our Publications – Alma develops exclusive analysis based on integrating found on our information from social networks and sites in Arabic. website Our research department focuses on the security israel-alma.org challenges along Israel's northern borders and we are and in enhancing our expertise in better understanding the international developments on the border zone with Syria and media Lebanon daily - considering the ever-changing situation on these borders. _ Our Research Department follows media outlets and social Podcasts - Q & A media in the region on a daily basis.

Last year has been a challenging and exciting year for the staff of the Education Department. Alma has evolved from a "one woman show" to a comprehensive non- profit center employing 7 staff members, all residents of northern Israel. We collaborate together to generate accurate analysis and interpretation of the northern borders' security challenges to global opinion makers and political leaders. This year, we have carefully reviewed the needs of our target audiences and developed new, informative programs, alongside the development and improvement of our on-location security briefings. We were pleased to learn that so many people, groups and institutes from around the world are yearning for knowledge on the dynamic events along Israel’s northern borders. Our speakers met with politicians, diplomats, leading academics, journalists, businessmen, families, students and youth - all of whom were exposed to the unique content of the Alma Center and learned about Israel's security challenges on the northern borders.

  • The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009
    Adalah’s Newsletter, Volume 63, August 2009 The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009 Background On 3 August 2009, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed the Israel Land Administration (ILA) Law (hereinafter the “Land Reform Law”), with 61 Members of Knesset (MKs) voting in favor of the law and 45 MKs voting against it. The new land reform law is wide ranging in scope: it institutes broad land privatization; permits land exchanges between the State and the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Le-Israel) (hereinafter - the “JNF”), the land of which is exclusively reserved for the Jewish people; allows lands to be allocated in accordance with "admissions committee" mechanisms and only to candidates approved by Zionist institutions working solely on behalf of the Jewish people; and grants decisive weight to JNF representatives in a new Land Authority Council, which would replace the Israel Land Administration (ILA). The land privatization aspects of the new law also affect extremely prejudicially properties confiscated by the state from Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel; Palestinian refugee property classified as “absentee” property; and properties in the occupied Golan Heights and in East Jerusalem. Land Privatization Policy The law stipulates that 800,000 dunams of land currently under state-control will be privatized, enabling private individuals to acquire ownership rights in them. The reform will lead to the transfer of ownership in leased properties and land governed by outline plans enabling the issuance of building permits throughout the State of Israel in the urban, rural and agricultural sectors. Change in the organizational structure of the Israel Lands Administration The reform further stipulates a broad organizational re-structuring of the ILA.

  • IATF Fact Sheet: Religion
    1 FACT SHEET iataskforce.org Topic: Religion – Druze Updated: June 2014 The Druze community in Israel consists of Arabic speakers from an 11th Century off-shoot of Ismaili Shiite theology. The religion is considered heretical by orthodox Islam.2 Members of the Druze community predominantly reside in mountainous areas in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria.3 At the end of 2011, the Druze population in Israel numbered 133,000 inhabitants and constituted 8.0% of the Arab and Druze population, or 1.7%of the total population in Israel.4 The Druze population resides in 19 localities located in the Northern District (81% of the Druze population, excluding the Golan Heights) and Haifa District (19%). There are seven localities which are exclusively Druze: Yanuh-Jat, Sajur, Beit Jann, Majdal Shams, Buq’ata, Mas'ade, and Julis.5 In eight other localities, Druze constitute an overwhelming majority of more than 75% of the population: Yarka, Ein al-Assad, Ein Qiniyye, Daliyat al-Karmel, Hurfeish, Kisra-Samia, Peki’in and Isfiya. In the village of Maghar, Druze constitute an almost 60% majority. Finally, in three localities, Druze account for less than a third of the population: Rama, Abu Snan and Shfar'am.6 The Druze in Israel were officially recognized in 1957 by the government as a distinct ethnic group and an autonomous religious community, independent of Muslim religious courts. They have their own religious courts, with jurisdiction in matters of personal status and spiritual leadership, headed by Sheikh Muwaffak Tarif. 1 Compiled by Prof. Elie Rekhess, Associate Director, Crown Center for Jewish and Israel Studies, Northwestern University 2 Naim Araidi, The Druze in Israel, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, December 22, 2002, http://www.mfa.gov.il; Gabriel Ben Dor, “The Druze Minority in Israel in the mid-1990s”, Jerusalem Letters, 315, June 1, 1995, JerusalemCenter for Public Affairs.
