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.

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • Educating for Success
    EDUCATING FOR SUCCESS It was a cold and rainy day in December 1975. There were only a handful of communities in Judea and the Jordan Valley at the time, but a small group of visionary pioneers decided to change that. They put out the word, and thousands converged upon an abandoned railway station near Sebastia, the Roman name given to the Biblical city of Samaria. The Government of Israel opposed this pioneering initiative, but when confronted with the masses who clamored for settlement in Samaria, they acquiesced. Thirty families were permitted to settle in a nearby army base, and the community of Kedumim was born. I was in Jerusalem at the time, and when I heard about this brave new venture, I hitched a ride to that army base. I personally witnessed the commitment and spirit of innovation that the pioneers shared. They were creative and determined to reach their goal — to settle Judea and Samaria. Today, Kedumim is an established town, but it remains true to its original spirit. Today, that spirit is apparent in Lehava High School for Girls. For years, this school was at the forefront of Ethiopian immigrant absorption in Israel. Today, the needs are different. Too many youngsters lack the motivation to study, missing the relevance of their school work. Lehava has recently launched a center for initiative and leadership as an optional program for middle school students. Students are encouraged to look at their own reality and identify problems or needs that require solutions, whether it be a humanitarian need, a technological failing, or anything else.
