  • FEDERATION PROGRAMS Teachers Reflect on Their P2G Experience Four Chattanooga Teachers Recently Traveled to Israel As Part of the P2G (Partnership Together) Program
    FEDERATION PROGRAMS Teachers Reflect on their P2G Experience Four Chattanooga teachers recently traveled to Israel as part of the P2G (Partnership Together) program. Here are their summaries of their experiences. Riki Jordan Odineal: As an educator, there is nothing better than experiencing the education system of another area or country. When I went on the P2G Educator's Delegation over winter break, I knew I was in for a special trip. I was not disappointed! I spent two days at Mevoot Eron High School in Hadera in history, geography, art, and science classrooms. This is the kibbutz school for the four kibbutzim in the area. The students were engaged and curious. They also enjoyed the pencils, Little Debbies, and homemade tzedekeh box (made by my Sunday school class) I brought with me. I also had the opportunity to stay on a kibbutz with my new Israeli family. I stayed on Kibbutz Barkai, which is 15 minutes northeast of Hadera. There are no words for the warmth and hospitality I received from everyone on the kibbutz. I've never had more fresh produce in my life! I was definitely a fan of kib- butz life. Most importantly, I made many connections in both our Southeastern Region in the U.S. and our partnership region in Israel. It was amazing networking with our Israeli counterparts and planning future activities between our schools. We've also made plans to socialize with our Nashville and Knoxville coun- terparts. This trip was life-changing, and I am so thankful to the Federation for the opportunity! SE P2G group in the Cardo section of Old Jerusalem Rebecca Sadowitz: I want to thank the Federation so much for sending me to Israel for the educator’s consortium, Partnership Together.

They contained range cards for three 120 mm mortar and 122 mm upgraded Grad rocket fired from positions in the region of Shihin. The range cards were dated December 2005 and were for 122 mm upgraded Grad rockets (with a range of 20 km – 12.5 miles). The range cards belonged to the artillery department of the Nasr Unit, the unit responsible for the area south of the Litani River, and operating under the command of the Jihad Council.1 2.

Hajj Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Nasrallah’s military deputy, heads it. He is wanted by the United States for the many terrorist attacks he has carried out against American targets. In addition, Argentina has issued an international warrant for his arrest because of his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. 2 Upgraded 122 mm Grad rocket Diameter: 122 mm.
