Mayor Barkat became the ninth Mayor of Jerusalem when he was inaugurated into office on December 2, 2008 at the age of 49. Mayor Barkat has inspired Jerusalemites with his vision to turn Israel's capital city into one rich in culture, youth, education, lasting economic development, and tourism, as well as his message of respect and pluralism for all residents of Jerusalem. In both his first and second term, members of Jerusalem's city council have formed a wide coalition to support Mayor Barkat and his vision. A testament to Mayor Barkat's leadership and uniting vision: he has joined together the left and the right, the secular and religious, in order to move Jerusalem forward, allowing him to spend the entirety of his time working on the needs of Jerusalem, rather than the politics. Support for Mayor Barkat's vision continues to spread throughout Jerusalem, Israel, and communities throughout the world. Prior to becoming Mayor, Nir Barkat served as the opposition leader of the city council for 5 years learning the details of Jerusalem's difficult challenges and tremendous opportunities. Based on his deep understanding of the issues that face Jerusalem, Mayor Barkat set out on a path of active civic engagement and reform beyond the city council to address education, negative migration of Jerusalem's young adults, and the need for lasting economic development. His early successes as Mayor are rooted in his business methods and entrepreneurial approach to City Hall. In 1988, Mayor Barkat co­founded BRM Technologies, a pioneering software house and later venture capital firm that developed and marketed ground­breaking anti­virus software now standard on personal computers throughout the world. His leadership and business acumen brought him to the position of global chairman of one of BRMs largest venture projects. Mayor Barkat received the rank of Major during his six years of service in the Israel Defense Forces. As a paratrooper, he led soldiers inside enemy territory during the First Lebanon War, where he was wounded by gun shot. Once he recovered, Mayor Barkat returned as a company commander of the paratroopers. Mayor Barkat has been a Jerusalemite his entire life. Following his army service, Mayor Barkat returned to Jerusalem where he attended Hebrew University and earned a degree in computer science. He is married to artist Beverly Barkat, with whom he has three daughters. Every day, Mayor Barkat works to continue this dream for his family and the future generations of Jerusalem. Nathan A. Bernstein Honoree Nathan Bernstein was born and raised in Haifa, Israel. Nathan’s family in Israel is seven generations old starting in Jerusalem and the Galilee in the early 19th century. He came to the United States as a student at Berkeley University and Boston University. Nathan opened his first gallery in New York in 1974 specializing in Impressionist and Modern Masters. Over the past thirty years the gallery has garnered its reputation as a leading figure in the international art market, with a strong focus on building and maintaining comprehensive collections. The gallery is known for its imaginative thematic exhibitions that create a unique fusion of the classic with the contemporary. Offering artworks of exceedingly high quality, the gallery works closely with both established and new collectors, aiding in the acquisition of exclusive works of art. Past exhibitions have showcased artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre­Auguste Renoir, Robert Delaunay, Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, Jeff Koons, and Jean­Michel Basquiat. The gallery has also been a pioneer in the contemporary Asian market, exhibiting works by Mr. Yoshitomo Nara, Wang Guangyi, Li Shan, Zhang Xiaoming, and Wang Ziwei. Professional memberships include such esteemed organizations as the Appraisers Association of America (AAA), the Private Art Dealers Association (PADA) and the International Confederation of Art and Antique Dealers (CINOA). In addition, Nathan Bernstein is on the Acquisitions Committee and a Board member for the American Friends of the Israel Museum, and is the Chairman of the Hermann Struck Foundation. Hermann Struck (Nathan’s great uncle) moved to then Palestine in 1922 and established his home in Haifa and is considered one of the most important prints artists in the first half of the 20th Century. Nathan has become a main benefactor of his estate part of which went to establish the Struck Museum in Haifa in 2013. Nathan Bernstein is married to Katharina Otto, an award winning filmmaker, they have two teenage sons together Nicholas Otto­Bernstein and Jonathan Otto­Bernstein. Nathan has another daughter, Sasha Bernstein, and son, Martin Bernstein from previous marriages. Chaim Katzman Honoree Chaim Katzman is the founder, controlling shareholder and chairman of international real estate giant Gazit­Globe Ltd. He directs its global operations, managing more than $20 billion in assets in over 20 countries throughout the world. Gazit­Globe and its global subsidiaries (including Equity One Inc. in the United States) currently own and/or operate more than 540 shopping centers on three continents. Chaim is recognized as a pioneer in the retail investment and development industry, primarily as a visionary builder of value in existing properties by enhancing, upgrading and expanding what was already there. Keenly aware of the needs and desires of the local community, he has consistently ensured that his retail centers are both environmentally friendly (using green building practices and waste­recycling processes), and people friendly (offering much­appreciated community services such as libraries and health centers). He has applied this same approach to his myriad philanthropic activities, adding value to nonprofit organizations and strengthening community ties both in Israel, where he was born and raised, and in the United States, where he has lived since 1989 and many of his business operations are headquartered. He is a major annual donor to American Friends of Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, of which he also serves as a trustee; American Friends of Tel Aviv University; the Jackson Memorial Foundation, the fundraising arm of the Jackson Health System in South Florida, and its International Kids Wonderfund; the Israel Healthcare Foundation; Larger than Life; New World Symphony, a Miami­ based program that nurtures gifted young musicians from all over the world; American Friends of the Israel Museum (AFIM); Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF); Birthright Israel Foundation; and Friends of Design Museum Holon­Israel, where he named the main gallery in honor of his late wife, Dr. Shulamit Katzman. Chaim also established the Dr. Shulamit Katzman Endowed Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to honor her memory.

  • 2011 Annual Report
    +LOOHO Hillel 2011: The Network Annual Report 91815.indd 1 10/19/11 7:55 PM Hillels Vision To inspire every Jewish student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life. Hillels Mission To enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel pursues its mission by: creating a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment; fostering student growth and the balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human; advancing tzedek (social justice), Jewish learning and spirituality; embracing Israel and global Jewish peoplehood; delivering excellence, innovation, accountability and results. 91815.indd 2 10/19/11 7:55 PM Hillel 2011: The Network The concept of the global social network is as old as the Jewish people. Ever since Abraham left his home to settle in the Land of Israel, the Jewish people have journeyed back and forth between homeland and diaspora, maintaining connections of law and language, blood and faith that have sustained us through millennia of sacrifice and success. Jewish literature is a record of the conversations among scholars across borders and generations. Today, electrons have replaced parchment and information is shared instantaneously around the world with the touch of a smartphone key. Hillels network starts on campuses and in communities where young people serve as connectors who create mini-communities of their Jewish peers. These mini-communities are tied together into local Hillels that collaborate with one another locally, regionally and internationally. Meanwhile, student relationships forged during Taglit-Birthright Israel trips and alternative breaks are sustained on Facebook.

  • Cultura Israelense
    Cultura Israelense: Israel é um país novo e antigo, pequeno em tamanho, mas dotado de topografia variada e com uma população heterogênea e culturalmente ativa de mais de 5,5 milhões de habitantes. É o lugar onde o Oriente se encontra com o Ocidente, e o passado e o presente se tocam; e onde os estilos de vida são moldados por ideologias. Quatro mil anos de tradição judaica, mais de um século de sionismo, a reunião dos exilados e quase cinco décadas de existência como estado moderno contribuíram para a formação de uma cultura que já criou sua própria identidade, embora preservando a singularidade das 70 comunidades que a compõem. A cultura israelense é o resultado do encontro entre o indivíduo e a sociedade, um amálgama de tradição e inovação e busca um meio-termo entre o especificamente israelense e o universal. Sendo uma sociedade constituída sobretudo de imigrantes e de nativos de segunda geração, a expressão criativa do país absorveu inúmeras e diversas influências culturais e sociais; as tradições de cada grupo rivalizam-se umas com as outras, ao mesmo tempo que se confrontam com a história recente do país e a vida no contexto do Oriente Médio. A constante busca de uma identidade cultural se expressa através da criatividade numa ampla gama de expressões artísticas, apreciadas e usufruídas pela maioria da população em seu dia-a-dia. Os laços culturais internacionais de Israel abrangem a cooperação em inúmeros campos, como língua, literatura, artes, ciência, mídia e esportes. Com base em acordos bilaterais com mais de 70 países, além de ligações com muitos outros, as atividades vão desde programas de intercâmbio acadêmico e de estudantes, turnês recíprocas de grupos de dança, de companhias de teatro, de músicos e orquestras, de exposições de arte, à participação em feiras de livros, festivais de cinema e competições esportivas, assim com o ensino recíproco da língua e das tradições culturais de ambos os países.
