In response, one of my fellow Commissioners, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, noted that the work of this Commission was a sacred duty to the memory of both victims and survivors of the Holocaust. One year on, having concluded its work in presenting this report, I believe that the Commission has fulfilled that duty and has provided a set of recommendations which will give effect to an appropriate and compelling memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to all of those who were persecuted by the Nazis.

  • Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York
    Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York Israel in Our Lives is a project sponsored by The CRB Foundation, The Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education Department of Jewish Education and Culture in the Diaspora, and The Charles R. Bronfman Centre for the Israel Experience: Mifgashim. In cooperation with Jewish Education Service of North America and Israel Experience, Inc. Israel In Our Lives Online was funded in part through a generous grant from the Joint Program for Jewish Education of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State of Israel. The editors would like to thank all the authors, advisors, and consultants of the Israel In Our Lives series— educational leaders who have brought their considerable insights and talents to bear on this project. In addition to those already mentioned in these pages, we extend our appreciation to those who helped in shaping the project concept: Dr. Zvi Bekerman, Gidon Elad, Dr. Cecile Jordan, Rachel Korazim, Clive Lessem, Caren Levine, Dr. Zev Mankowitz, Dr. Eliezer Marcus, & Susan Rodenstein. Part 1 While no one would suggest that the synagogue and Israel are duplicates of one another - and indeed the differences between them are legion - they have in this generation increasingly represented (especially for North American Jewry) two important, parallel symbols of Jewish identity. This is because both are special "places" in which being a Jew constitutes an essential pre-requisite, perhaps even a sine qua non, for affiliation. Additionally, both are places where one expects to find Jews in the overwhelming majority and in charge, where Jewish concerns are paramount, and where Hebrew is spoken.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain* JLHE PERIOD under review (July 1, 1962, to December 31, 1963) was an eventful one in British political and economic life. Economic recession and an exceptionally severe winter raised the number of unemployed in Jan- uary 1963 to over 800,000, the highest figure since 1939. In the same month negotiations for British entry into the European Common Market broke down, principally because of the hostile attitude of President Charles de Gaulle of France. Official opinion had stressed the economic advantages of union, but enthusiasm for the idea had never been widespread, and there was little disappointment. In fact, industrial activity rallied sharply as the year progressed. In March 1963 Britain agreed to the dissolution of the Federation of Rho- desia and Nyasaland, which had become inevitable as a result of the transfer of power in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia to predominantly African governments and the victory of white supremacists in the elections in South- ern Rhodesia, where the European minority still retained power. Local elections in May showed a big swing to Labor, as did a series of par- liamentary by-elections. A political scandal broke out in June, when Secretary for War John Pro- fumo resigned after confessing that he had lied to the House of Commons concerning his relations with a prostitute, Christine Keeler. A mass of infor- mation soon emerged about the London demimonde, centering on Stephen Ward, an osteopath, society portrait painter, and procurer. His sensational trial and suicide in August 1963 were reported in detail in the British press. A report issued in September by Lord Denning (one of the Law Lords) on the security aspects of the scandal disposed of some of the wilder rumors of immorality in high places but showed clearly the failure of the government to deal with the problem of a concurrent liaison between the war minister's mistress and a Soviet naval attache.

  • UJS Conference 2020 Motions
    UJS Conference 2020 Motions Campus Motion Title: CA3 Fighting Antisemitism with the Jewish Labour Movement Proposer’s name: Jack Lubner Proposer’s J-Soc: Cambridge Seconder’s name: Toby Kunin Seconder’s J-Soc: Warwick What’s the idea? 1. The issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party has been incredibly difficult for the Jewish community and for Jewish students in particular, who have faced antisemitism on campus. 2. The Labour Party’s new leadership have made promising steps in dealing with the problem of antisemitism in Labour but there is still a long way to go. 3. The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) played a key role in the fight against antisemitism, having referred the Labour Party to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) – which found it guilty of committing three unlawful acts. 4. UJS has worked with JLM in the past to provide antisemitism awareness training on campus. How do you want it to happen? 1. UJS should continue to work alongside the Jewish Labour Movement in co-hosting events to share the experiences of Jewish students. 2. If antisemitism awareness training in University Labour Clubs resumes, UJS should facilitate training with JLM. UJS should be in regular contact with JLM to coordinate efforts to fight antisemitism on campus when it arises in Labour Party spaces. Motion Title: CA6 Committing to Fight All Forms of Antisemitism Proposer’s name: Millie Walker Proposer’s J-Soc: Leeds Seconder’s name: Tamar Klajman Seconder’s J-Soc: UCL What’s the idea? 1. Antisemitism is rising at an alarming rate at universities across the world.

  • 2020 Grants Book
    REPORT OF GRANTS AWARDED 2019-2020 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 What We Do — And How We Do It 2 Where Our Dollars Go 3 Fiscal Year 2020 Grants by Agency: Full Listing 4 Named Endowments and Spending Funds 40 2020 Leadership List 46 4 INTRODUCTION A YEAR LIKE NO OTHER In a typical year, this grants book would be an important record of our shared investments in our community. The year 2020 has been anything but typical. While this report still documents our collective grant making, reflecting our commitment to the highest degree of programmatic integrity and true fiscal transparency, it is also a testament to the heroic efforts that have kept critical services and mission-driven programs going despite a global pandemic. For so many individuals, day-to-day life is a regular series of obstacles and uncertainties. Multiply that by millions of people impacted by Covid-19, and you have some sense of what has been required to assure that we are remaining true to UJA-Federation’s mission to care, connect, and inspire. So, while this is a report of our annual accomplishment, it is also a tribute to the unwavering determination of professionals and volunteers within UJA, at agencies and in neighborhoods, on front lines and on screens, who have simply refused to allow a novel virus to alter decades-old commitments in New York, in Israel, and around the world. This fortitude required stunning acts of generosity. We continue to honor the system created by UJA’s founders that not only has stood the test of time but continues to shape the future of our collective story.
