It is not in vain that our Yeshiva is called "Derech Chaim" – the "Path of Life". We make every effort to make it clear to our students that the Torah that they study here is not theoretical – it is geared is to lead and direct them to take those same high ideals and put them into practice in their daily lives - in their hobbies, careers and life-choices. The Rashbi Study Partners Program Twice a week, Kiryat Gat Hesder students go to study Talmud and Parshat Shavua with young students at the nearby "Rashbi" Mamlachti Dati elementary school. Due to its proximity our students can now engage in this activity twice a week and the young children are in turn encouraged to visit the Yeshiva as well. In general, these children come from very economically and religiously challenged backgrounds. Having a "big brother" from the local Hesder Yeshiva is invaluable in building their respect for Torah and connecting them to proper role models. Community Rabbinate Program Amit L’Mishpacha A number of our Rabbis also serve as the beloved The Family Associate Program spiritual leaders of different local congregations. In this context, they are busy giving talks and lectures as well as helping families in their community in various ways.

    Sderot – the Central Hesder Yeshiva and the “Shluchot” Revolution!

    Sderot – The Central Hesder Yeshiva and the “Shluchot” Revolution! The Torah Revolution in Sderot The Central Max and Ruth Schwartz Hesder Yeshiva of Sderot was founded over 15 years ago and now has more than 400 students. The rapid growth of the Yeshiva despite the thousands of missiles aimed at Sderot, together with the construction of a magnificent campus has served to strengthen the spirit of all the residents and uplift the status of Torah throughout the region. Over the years Sderot has become just about the largest Hesder Yeshiva in Israel and is blessed with a very high religious and scholastic level. 400 strong in the main study hall Unique Outreach Affiliate Institutions The Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi David Fendel, a literal powerhouse behind so many local projects - both spiritual and material – came on Aliyah from the United States to build both his home and a world of Torah in Sderot. In addition to building our main Hesder institution, Rabbi Fendel led a true revolution in the yeshiva world when he insisted on establishing and receiving official recognition for 2 affiliate institutions (“Shluchot” in Hebrew) serving a more varied clientele than other Hesder Yeshivot. Rav Fendel believed that with the right approach, with a warm and unique staff it would be possible to reach out and attract graduates of regular religious high schools and turn them into proud Torah-true Jews and soldiers imbued with deep faith and self- sacrifice. To achieve this goal Sderot has established two affiliates– Yeshivat Lev La’Daat also in Sderot led by Rabbi Shlomo Binyamin now numbering about 130 students and Yeshivat Derech Chaim in Kiryat Gat headed by Rabbi Amir Maman with over 70 students.

Your mentorship and sharing of knowledge provided an entry point into subject matter far beyond anything I ever thought I would reach. -- To Dr. Mbaye Lo, thank you for your unwavering support, challenging materials, and educated discussions. Our long debates in your office are some of my fondest memories of my time in Durham. --To the staff of the Data Visualization Lab staff at Duke University consisting of Mark Thomas, Angela Zoss, John Little, and Jena Happ, your expertise, patience, and assistance in ArcGIS, Open Refine, and general data manipulation were extremely helpful during the computational portion of this publication and for that I thank you. --To Ryan Denniston, your assistance in Microsoft Excel functions and ArcGIS modeling was impeccable.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of

    Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of

    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.
