Since the meetings will take place mainly at the Galilion Hotel, we recommend that you make reservations at this Hotel. If you are staying in other hotels in the region you would need transportation (it would be easier if you do so to rent a car).

Credit Cards American Express, Eurocard/MasterCard, Visa and Diners Card are welcome in Israel and the Hotel. Most shops, restaurants and service points also welcome these cards. MIGAL – Galilee Research Institute, 2 Tarshish street, South Industrial Zone, Kiryat-Shmona P.O. Box 813, Kiryat-Shmona 11016, Israel Flying to Israel and arriving to the Galilee All international flights to Israel arrive at Ben-Gurion airport near Tel-Aviv. We will provide bus transportation to Galilee, planned according to the information that we are going to receive from you about your times of arrival (since flights are landing at different times we are going to schedule a bus in a convenient time for most of the people). For that issue we are kindly asking you to fill in the table with your details and with the details of your spouse as well (here). Meeting point for the transportation is in the Arriving Hall near the Steimatzky bookshop (on your right side when you leave the arrival circle). From the airport to the hotel: In case you are landing at other hours or a day earlier, we suggest you take the train from the airport to Ako (Acre) [through Tel-Aviv and Haifa] and we will pick you up from the train station in Akko. It is approximately an hour and a quarter from Akko to the Hotel Galilion. Please buy a ticket for the train before taking it, as otherwise there is a fine. You can check the Train schedule from Ben-Gurion airport to Akko at: https://www.rail.co.il/en In case you are planning a trip in Israel on your own, and you are going to rent a car at the airport, we will send you instructions how to reach Galilion Hotel if needed. GPS (and especially Waze) provides great navigation. It takes around 2.5 hours from the airport through route No.6 (there is a toll!) Weather and clothing Israel is located, between 29-33° north of the equator, which is characterised as a subtropical region, between the temperate zone and the tropical zone. The northern and coastal regions of Israel have Mediterranean climate characterised by hot and dry summers and cool rainy winters. The Galilee can be cold in February, especially in the evening. There might be some rainy days, but nothing extreme (we hope, we cannot promise, but we will try our best!). Please, bring an umbrella and a coat. The temperatures of Galilee are similar to those in Jerusalem, for those who check the websites. Bring with you your bathing suits especially if you travel to the Dead Sea. Travel documents Most countries have open travel regime to Israel and you would need only your passport. For possible visa requirements, please check the webpages of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There, you can find a list of countries with special travel regime. We are going to send to all the participants who register an invitation letter to ensure easier border passing. Currency and Money Exchange The Israeli currency is the Shekel. The exchange ratio to EUR is approximately to 4.2 NIS for 1 EURO. There are a number of exchange offices at the airport and money can be also exchanged in banks and hotels. In most cases, the best place is at the airport, especially since you travel to the Galilee, with limited Money Exchange booths. After you arrive in Galilee, the hotels will provide you with assistance for any banking transactions but we recommend that you exchange some money at the Airport Exchange offices. In almost all places in Israel, only NIS will be accepted in cash for payment, or you MIGAL – Galilee Research Institute, 2 Tarshish street, South Industrial Zone, Kiryat-Shmona P.O. Box 813, Kiryat-Shmona 11016, Israel can use your credit cards. You CANNOT pay with EURO in most places, especially not in public transportation! Traveling in Israel We are planning a tour from Galilee to the centre of Israel the day after the end of the conference (Thursday February 21) for those who would like to stay one more day and catch a short glimpse of Israel. This is an "in kind" support by the Ministry of Science and Technology. We are planning visits at some Holy Christian sites, the Jordan Baptist site south of the Sea of Galilee, traveling to Jerusalem (those who are going to stay in Jerusalem for additional days can leave us there) and continue to the Ben-Gurion airport. If you have any further questions, please contact Uri Marchaim at [email protected] or Daniela Levi at [email protected], or call Uri's office at 972-4-6953507 (on WhatsApp or on mobile 972-50-6460278).

  • Razvoj Bojevanja V Mestih V Obdobju Globalizacije
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Anže Križ Razvoj bojevanja v mestih v obdobju globalizacije Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2011 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Anže Križ Mentor: red. prof. dr. Anton Žabkar Razvoj bojevanja v mestih v obdobju globalizacije Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2011 RAZVOJ BOJEVANJA V MESTIH V OBDOBJU GLOBALIZACIJE V obdobju po koncu hladne vojne in na začetku globalizacije so se po svetu zgodile številne spremembe. Med drugim se je zelo povečalo svetovno prebivalstvo, hkrati pa so se eksponentno povečala mesta tako po velikosti kot tudi po številu prebivalcev. Pojavile so se tudi številne nove varnostne grožnje. Spremenili so se oboroženi konflikti in s tem tudi bojevanje v mestih. V diplomski nalogi so zato obravnavani trije različni primeri »bojevanja v mestih«, ki so se pojavili v obdobju globalizacije. Obravnavani primeri se med seboj popolnoma razlikujejo, saj gre v prvem primeru za klasičen oboroženi boj v mestih med vojaškimi enotami, v drugem gre za teroristični napad na glavne cilje v mestu, v tretjem pa gre za obstreljevanje mest, kjer sta obe strani, ki sta se spopadli, na mesta simetrično uporabljali globoke maščevalne udare. Z obravnavo teh primerov predstavljam metode, načine in oblike bojevanja ter opisujem poteke oboroženih bojev v mestih. Iz obravnave, prikazov in analize primerov vidimo, kako se je razvilo in spremenilo bojevanje v mestih v obdobju globalizacije. Ključne besede: bojevanje, oboroženi boj, bojevanje v mestih, globalizacija, mesto. THE EVOLUTION OF MILITARY COMBAT IN URBAN TERRAIN IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION Numerous changes have happend in the world after the Cold War and particulary at the beginning of globalization.

  • The Maronite Catholic Church in the Holy Land
    The Maronite Catholic Church in the Holy Land The maronite church of Our Lady of Annunciation in Nazareth Deacon Habib Sandy from Haifa, in Israel, presents in this article one of the Catholic communities of the Holy Land, the Maronites. The Maronite Church was founded between the late 4th and early 5th century in Antioch (in the north of present-day Syria). Its founder, St. Maron, was a monk around whom a community began to grow. Over the centuries, the Maronite Church was the only Eastern Church to always be in full communion of faith with the Apostolic See of Rome. This is a Catholic Eastern Rite (Syrian-Antiochian). Today, there are about three million Maronites worldwide, including nearly a million in Lebanon. Present times are particularly severe for Eastern Christians. While we are monitoring the situation in Syria and Iraq on a daily basis, we are very concerned about the situation of Christians in other countries like Libya and Egypt. It’s true that the situation of Christians in the Holy Land is acceptable in terms of safety, however, there is cause for concern given the events that took place against Churches and monasteries, and the recent fire, an act committed against the Tabgha Monastery on the Sea of Galilee. Unfortunately in Israeli society there are some Jewish fanatics, encouraged by figures such as Bentsi Gopstein declaring his animosity against Christians and calling his followers to eradicate all that is not Jewish in the Holy Land. This last statement is especially serious and threatens the Christian presence which makes up only 2% of the population in Israel and Palestine.

  • Academic Research, Higher Education, and Peripheral Development: the Case of Israel
    economies Article Academic Research, Higher Education, and Peripheral Development: The Case of Israel Gad Degani 1,2, Dan Levanon 2 and Gregory Yom Din 1,* 1 Tel-Hai College, Upper Galilee 1220800, Israel; [email protected] 2 MIGAL—Galilee Research Institute, POB 831, Kiryat Shmona 1101602, Israel; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The aims of this study are to identify possible socioeconomic impacts of MIGAL (Galilee Research Institute) and TH (Tel Hai Academic College) on the peripheral northeast’s development. We discuss the effects of academic research and institutions of higher education on mitigating differences between the center and the periphery of the country. MIGAL is a regional R&D center in the northeast peripheral region of Israel. An internationally recognized applied research institute, MIGAL specializes in biotechnology, computational sciences, plant sciences, precision agriculture, and environmental sciences, as well as food, nutrition, and health. Most of MIGAL’s researchers serve as the core faculty at TH. Despite the country’s small surface area, socioeconomic inequality in Israel is high by OECD standards, with wage differences between rich and poor regions reaching up to 400%. In this article, a new type of dataset for the study of the socioeconomic impact of academic research and higher education on peripheral development is proposed—the regional socioeconomic indices (SEIs). Data for MIGAL, TH, and the northeastern peripheral region were collected from the yearly reports of the two institutions and the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics. MIGAL was found to serve as a link between research, academic teaching, and socioeconomic development Citation: Degani, Gad, Dan Levanon, in the northeast periphery.

  • ISRAEL/LEBANON Civilians in Israel and Lebanon
    PUBLIC AI Index: MDE 15/074/2006 07 August 2006 UA 212/06 Fear for safety/ forcible displacement ISRAEL/LEBANON Civilians in Israel and Lebanon Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hizbullah since the outbreak of hostilities on 12 July. More than 800 civilians in Lebanon have been killed, many of them children, and hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes following Israeli air strikes and threats of strikes. Tens of thousands have had their homes destroyed by the Israeli army and massive destruction is feared in the villages from which inhabitants have been forced out. Repeated Israeli air strikes have destroyed bridges, roads, electricity networks and other vital civilian infrastructure, paralyzing life in Lebanon. Vehicles carrying families fleeing their homes in south Lebanon and trucks carrying food supplies have also been targeted by Israeli forces, as have ambulances, rescue crews and UN observers. Killings continue unabated as Israeli bombardments persist in southern and eastern Lebanon and southern Beirut. Since 4 August, about 100 civilians have been killed. More than 23 Syrian agricultural workers were killed in an Israeli air strike on 4 August on the village of al-Qaa, north of Ba’albak, eastern Lebanon. Dozens are reported to have been killed and an unknown number injured on 7 August, following Israeli air attacks which destroyed several houses in southern Lebanon including in Ghazieh, outside Sidon, where many people were buried under the rubble. Scores of bodies were been recovered from the rubble of destroyed homes in south Lebanon after Israel suspended air-strikes for 48 hours on 31 July.
