Every year thousands of additional children enroll in Chinuch Atzmai. In the last 3 years alone, over 5,600 children were added to our schools. Today Chinuch Atzmai can change the face of Israel. The Baal-Tshuva movement is bringing thousands of new students to our doors. Parents are begging us to give their children the Torah chinuch they themselves didn't receive. But our resources are stretched to the limit. We need hundreds of new classrooms and teachers to accomodate these children. Are we going to let these Neshomos fall due to lack of dollars? nwrrpn n1'l1:u :i•n,n'l The 34th Annual Dinner of Chinuch Atzmai is dedicated to ex­ panding the borders of holiness in Israel- to continuing the holy work and vision of our sages. We hope, with Hashem's help, to enroll at least 10,000 children more in the next 3 years. To achieve this purpose we are creating a $10,000,000.00 Torah Fund, under the direct supervision of our Gedolei Torah; to make this dream a reality. f t's 5:30 AM in the Israeli Negev. On a lonely stretch of road, a small group of children stand with their shoulder packs waiting for a school bus .. .to them it's just another school day. A cross Israel, in thousands of villages, towns, and cities- a huge network of buses & vans are beginning to carry over 40,000 children to their local Chinuch Atzmai school. The children come from backgrounds as varied as the nations of the earth: Hungarian, Polish, Indian, Iranian, Russian, Yemenite, lraqui, Syrian, Czechoslovakian, African, American, and many others - all united by their parents' wish to give their children a true Torah education. Today is very special. It's the birthday of Chinuch Atzmai. Born 34 years ago as a dream and vision of our sages, who worked tirelessly and gave countless precious hours, days and weeks for this visionary goal. Who can forget how Rav Aaron Kotler, Reb Issir Za!men Meltzer, the Gerer Rebbe, and Reb Moishe Feinstein, of blessed memories, would leave their 'Gemoras' and spend weeks traveling to meetings-urging, begging & cajoling baalai baatim, politicians & yeshiva people to help build the foundations of the greatest force for Torah we have today- Chinuch Atzmai. $10 Million Is Needed Today!

Assessment of Land Use Change Impact on Ecohydrological Parameters Using Remote Sensing in the Sub-Catchments of the Patish Watershed, Israel. MSc. Thesis. Land Degradation and Development Group, Wageningen University. Discharge measurements in the Patish watershed in the Northern Negev region in Israel show a low stream flow, which cannot be explained by hydrological modelling. One hypothesis is that low discharge is caused by changes in land use in the watershed, which influence the rainfall/runoff ratio. This hypothesis was tested by assessing the impact of land use change on Ecohydrological parameters. Change in land use is determined by analysing Landsat images using Definiens®. Soil Ecohydrological properties were derived by field experiments, and taking samples to be analysed in the laboratory.

  • The PUA English Report 2011-2012
    Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.

  • Demutualization of Cooperatives: the Case Study of Tnuva Zvi Galor
    Demutualization of Cooperatives: the Case Study of Tnuva Zvi Galor www.coopgalor.com 2008 Demutualization of Tnuva- 1 - Zvi Galor Abstract The demutualization of Tnuva is a research to a very interesting process showing how a successful cooperative is ending its existence and demutualized itself. The Tnuva demutualization is at the same time a process showing how a cooperative is disconnected from its members. The research is trying to find out the reasons for this process. It is trying as well to find out if the demutualization way was the only way for the cooperative in Tnuva. The research describes processes and conflicts between the existing leadership of the cooperative and various groups of members, of cooperative movements, of governmental bodies, all are involved in the process. The case study of the demutualization of Tnuva is a lesson to learn.

Mehr als ein Jahr lang haben Khleifi und Sivan sich der Produktion dessen, was sie einen kinematischen Akt von Glauben und Vertrauen betrachten hingegeben: ein gemeinsamer Film. Im Sommer 2002 sind sie zwei lange Monate gemeinsam durch ihr Geburtsland gereist, sie haben ihre Strecke auf einer Karte aufgemalt und sie ROUTE 181 genannt. Diese virtuelle Linie markiert die Grenzen der UN-Resolution 181 vom 29. November 1947, nach der Palästina in zwei Staaten geteilt werden sollte. Auf ihrer ausgiebigen Reise hatten sie nur zufällige Begegnungen. Es wurden im Vorfeld weder Treffen vereinbart, noch Persönlichkeiten oder "offizielle" Gesprächspartner kontaktiert. Route 181 ist eine Route für beide Völker. Michel Khleifi (Hochzeit in Galiläa, Lied der Steine) Israelisch-palästinensische und arabisch-jüdische Aussöhnung sind ohne einen Prozess von Wahrheits-Kommissionen nicht möglich.

  • JCA-London for Webpage
    JCA Head Office The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) Files of the JCA (Jewish Colonization Association) Head Office (Paris, New York, London) – JCA-Lon… Introduction The Jewish Colonization Association was founded in 1891 by Baron Maurice de Hirsch of Paris, with the purpose of assisting Jews in depressed economic circumstances or in countries which persecuted them politically (chiefly Eastern Europe). The most prominent of its activities was the resettling of Jews from Eastern Europe on lands purchased for them in South America, chiefly Argentina and Brazil. However, JCA also devoted much effort and money to education, especially vocational training in hundreds of Eastern communities, as well as encouraging agriculture and small industrial ventures in these countries. The archives of the head office contain ca. 3200 files & sub-files of correspondence, c. 1891 to 1971, between the head office and JCA's branches in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Argentina, Brazil, Romania, Austria (Galicia), Turkey, Cyprus and Israel (then Palestine) , as well as with other philanthropic organizations, such as the Alliance Israélite Universelle, ORT, HIAS, etc. The head office archives also contain several series of reports and minutes (seances) in printed and mimeographed form. For most of these, duplicates exist elsewhere, although it is doubtful whether such a complete set exists in any one place outside of the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem. This collection's research potential is enormous. In addition to chronicling the history of the organization itself, the files are rich in information on emigration to South (and North) America, as well as economic and agricultural activity there.
