A mere 30 years later, the headline turned into reality with the establishment of the State of Israel, homeland of the Jewish People. The return of the Jews to their ancestral homeland has driven Rabbinical Judaism, the form of Judaism practiced for the last 1900 years, to a unique challenge. After all, Rabbinical Judaism’s formation coincided with the Jews’ exit to the Diaspora, and to a large extent was developed to accommodate the state of exile. Much of its core is based on the yearning for the return to Israel. The propensity of its rituals, prayers and customs are centered on the Land of Israel, from having synagogues face Jerusalem to reciting a prayer for return three times a day. A question arose: Now that the Jews are allowed to return to the Land of Israel, how will Judaism evolve? During the 20th century, the Jewish people re-domiciled and concentrated in two core centers: Israel and the United States.

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • Do Executive Compensation Contracts Maximize Firm Value? Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment
    Do executive compensation contracts maximize firm value? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment Menachem (Meni) Abudy Bar-Ilan University, School of Business Administration, Ramat-Gan, Israel, 5290002 Dan Amiram Columbia University Graduate School of Business, 3022 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 Tel Aviv University, Coller School of Management, Ramat Aviv, Israel, 6997801 Oded Rozenbaum The George Washington University, 2201 G St. NW, Washington, DC 20052 Efrat Shust College of Management Academic Studies, School of Business, Rishon LeZion, Israel, 7549071 Current Draft: May 2017 First Draft: September 2016 For discussion purposes only. Please do not distribute. Please do not cite without the authors permission. Abstract: There is considerable debate on whether executive compensation contracts are a designed to maximize firm value or a result of rent extraction. The endogenous nature of executive pay contracts limits the ability of prior research to answer this question. In this study, we utilize the events surrounding a surprising and quick enactment of a new law that restricts executive pay to a binding upper limit in the insurance, investment and banking industries. This quasi-natural experiment enables clear identification. If compensation contracts are value maximizing, any outside restriction to the contract will diminish its optimality and hence should reduce firm value. In contrast to the predictions of the value maximization view of compensation contracts, we find significantly positive abnormal returns in these industries in multiple short term event windows around the passing of the law. We find that the effect is concentrated only for firms in which the restriction is binding. We find similar results using a regression discontinuity design, when we restrict our sample to firms with executive payouts that are just below and just above the law’s pay limit.

  • Mapping Hebrew Education in Public Schools
    MAPPING HEBREW EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: A Resource for Hebrew Educators WORKING PAPER SHARON AVNI AVITAL KARPMAN SEPTEMBER 2019 SEPTEMBER At the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD), we advance knowledge through meaningful research that improves the policy and practice of education. Together, more than 1,600 faculty, researchers and graduate students make up the GSEHD community of scholars. Founded in 1909, GSEHD continues to take on the challenges of the 21st century because we believe that education is the single greatest contributor to economic success and social progress. The Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education (CASJE) is an evolving community of researchers, practitioners, and philanthropic leaders dedicated to improving the quality of knowledge that can be used to guide the work of Jewish education. The Consortium supports research shaped by the wisdom of practice, practice guided by research, and philanthropy informed by a sound base of evidence. AUTHORS Sharon Avni, PhD, CUNY (BMCC) Sharon Avni is Associate Professor of Language and Literacy in the Department of Academic Literacy and Linguistics at CUNY-BMCC. Avital Karpman, PhD, University of Maryland, College Park Avital Karpman is Associate Clinical Professor of Hebrew and Director of the Hebrew Program at the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Maryland, College Park. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the substantial help and encouragement we received from Dr. Peter Friedman z”l of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, who passed away before this report was completed. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND In the past decade, there has been a resurgence in the study of Hebrew in traditional and charter public schools.1 However, the types of schools teaching Hebrew and the demographics of students studying Hebrew do not resemble those of earlier iterations of public school Hebrew programs that trace back to the early 20th century.

The President said: "As always, ZAKA volunteers are pioneers, leading the pack. We see you at every incident, helping others, saving lives, honouring the dead. Your dedication has become world-renowned. ZAKA and its volunteers are the best example of sharing the burden in Israeli society." Please read on for an in-depth feature of ZAKA’s work during the Gaza conflict as well as a selection of stories – some happy, others sad or serious – all with one common thread: the 1,650 selfless ZAKA Volunteers who give up everything, at a moment’s notice, to help others in their ultimate time of need.

Gold Prior to the 1980s, Israel’s national ideology discouraged emigration and entrepreneurship among its citi- zens. Yet, by the late 1990s, Israeli emigrants were one of the leading immigrant nationalities in Silicon Valley. Drawing on interviews, fieldwork, a literature review, and perusal of social media, I explore the ori- gins of Israeli involvement in high- tech activities and the extensive linkages between Israeli emigrants and the Israeli high- tech industry. I also summarize the patterns of communal cooperation that permit emigrant families to maintain an Israel- oriented way of life in suburban communities south of San Francisco, and I compare these patterns with those of Indians, a nationality engaged in the same pursuit. I conclude by con- sidering the impact of infotech involvement on Israeli immigrants and on the U.S. economy. Keywords: immigrant entrepreneurs, transnationalism, ethnic communities, Silicon Valley Israeli immigrants have among the highest deed, Israelis and migrants from other coun- rates of entrepreneurship of all national- origin tries who work as entrepreneurs, professionals, groups in the United States, and they sustain and financiers in high- tech and are engaged in similar patterns in other places where they other cutting- edge economic activities have have settled in Europe, South Africa, Australia, been the focus of a growing body of attention.
