  • 1 the Ujia Israel Volunteer Programme E V a L U a T I O N
    THE UJIA ISRAEL VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME E V A L U A T I O N May 2008 This is an internal document The following paper relates to both Gap Year and Short Programme volunteering. It summarises and reviews current UJIA provision, records elements of success and tries to understand the challenges and issues that are a current feature of some elements of the programme. Finally, a set of recommendations is detailed, which should act as a lever for change. Summary of the Facts and Structure of Gap Year Volunteer Programmes All UK Jewish Youth Movements receive core funding from UJIA as well as bursary funding for individuals. All UK Movements spend from approximately one third to two thirds of the gap year participating in volunteering projects. Within the past five years, the number of Youth Movements who participate in UJIA volunteering projects in Israel has fallen from eight to four. Apart from the Intifada years, when numbers dropped, the numbers of Israel gap year participants has risen only slightly in the last ten years. There are growing numbers of volunteering opportunities elsewhere in the world for gap year students. The UJIA is in an open market place. The needs of the individual, the Movement and the UJIA projects in Israel are not always the same as each other. Typically, volunteering on UJIA projects takes place in schools, teaching English. No specific teacher- training is given to either volunteers or teachers. Success is greatest where there is an on-going relationship with a project or region, starting in the years before the gap year experience.

  • Loyalty to the Values of Zionism As a Condition for Acceptance to Community Settlements in Israel
    Adalah’s Newsletter, Volume 67, December 2009 Loyalty to the Values of Zionism as a Condition for Acceptance to Community Settlements in Israel By Alaa Mahajna1 The amendment last month of the internal bylaws of the Mitzpeh Aviv community town, which falls within the jurisdiction of the Misgav Regional Council in the Galilee in the north of Israel, is part of a dangerous trend that is gaining an increasingly strong foothold in Israel. The amendment stipulates that an allocation of land in the town will be conditional upon a declaration by the person seeking to live there that, “His highest priorities are Zionist values and the values of the state as a Jewish and democratic state.” On 10 December 2009, a new bill passed preliminary reading by a large majority in the Knesset after it was adopted by the Ministerial Committee on Legislation; this bill aims, according its proponents at, “preserving the ability to realize the Zionist vision in practice” in community towns, by imposing the condition of “loyalty” on residency applications. Practically speaking, the bylaws amendment does not change the current situation since almost no Arab citizens of Israel live in the community towns. However, it entrenches explicit discrimination against Arabs citizens that has a significant “chilling effect” on their right to choose their place of residence. The new bill, however, seeks to enshrine the authority of the community towns to choose prospective residents by a primary law of the Knesset. Mitzpeh Aviv is not the first town in Israel to insert an amendment of this nature into its bylaws.
