In 2015, Batsheva marked 25 years of artistic management by Ohad Naharin. During that time, Ohad and the Company have attained One of Batsheva’s characteristics as an international dance company extraordinary artistic achievements and gained world renown. Ohad is the number of foreign dancers. This characteristic contributes Naharin is a prolific artist of boundless energies, constantly surprising immensely to its unique spirit and achievements.

Over the past year, Batsheva offered financial compensation to foreign dancers One of Batsheva’s guidelines is the diversity of production it offers its affected by changes in income tax regulations, and at the same time audiences. Together with Ohad Naharin’s works, last December the initiated an amendment to the 1952 Entry to Israel Law. This proposed Batsheva Ensemble performed Danielle Agami’s newest piece, amendment may eventually change attitudes towards foreign ”And Still“.

During the last season, five new dancers joined supporters. However, the building of its new home in the Neve Batsheva, including three who “stepped up” from the Young Sha’anan Arts Center requires fundraising on a much larger scale, Ensemble, which also celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. even considering the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality’s generous support Recall that the Young Ensemble had been created by Ohad Naharin for the project.

In recent years, public discourse has been preoccupied with cultivating Israel’s socio-geographical periphery. Batsheva is no exception: for many years, it has been performing for diverse audiences throughout the country, and considers it a calling to offer contemporary dance to remote rural areas where audiences have little exposure to this art form. In 2015, about a quarter of the Ittamar Givton, Company’s performances in Israel were held outside Tel Aviv, and of Chair of the Board all spectators during that year, about 40% were from towns other Cover: "Last Work" by Ohad Naharin, 2015.

This always seems very distant because we are constantly in the midst of an intensive present, where many things happen simultaneously. Pausing, however, offers an opportunity to look back, and this was a year of very good work in the studio, onstage and in the office, a year of refinement and improvement, with many moments of beauty and quality. The good review of 2015 belongs to everyone – the dancers and artistic staff, the administrative and technical teams, members of the public council and board, the loyal donors who believe in us and in our vision, and the large audiences supporting us, here in our city and throughout the country and the world. Together with our artistic activities, two significant and noteworthy events occurred this past year. The first is related to the dancers’ welfare – which is always a top priority for us – and involves mainly a long-awaited raise in the senior company dancers’ salaries. This move was enabled by an extraordinarily generous donation dedicated to this specific purpose. Another touching show of support enabled us to protect the wages of our foreign dancers, after a cruel amendment in income tax regulations applicable to migrant workers affected their bottom line. The second important development is the considerable progress in the project of building us a home of our own, the Neve Sha’anan Arts Campus. We are delighted to inform you that the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality joined the project as a full partner. According to Mayor Ron Huldai: “The Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality has made tremendous efforts in recent years to stimulate urban renewal in Neve Sha’anan and, sees culture as an important catalyst for such growth. We hope that the establishment of the Batsheva Campus, the home of one of our most important artistic and cultural institutions, will generate diverse and international artistic activity of the highest level, alongside social and educational activities to benefit the residents of this neighborhood, the district, and the city at large”. We are now at the start of the process of raising funds for this project and are excited to continue and intensify our cooperation with the various municipal authorities towards its realization.

  • GA Resource Guide 2013 Essential Readings for Conference Sessions
    GA Resource Guide 2013 Essential Readings for Conference Sessions From BJPA Director Prof. Steven M. Cohen If you’re privileged to be attending the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America taking place in Jerusalem, November 10-12, you’ll enrich your experience by perusing this selection of background materials assembled by the Berman Jewish Policy Archive @ NYU Wagner (BJPA). This Guide pairs conference sessions – titles and speakers – with documents selected to familiarize you with the speakers and to deepen your understanding of the topics. And, if you’re unable to attend the GA this year, this Resource Guide will give you a glimpse into the issues, thinking, and discussions that will be taking place This Year in Jerusalem. These documents are drawn from the 18,000 (and growing) articles, reports, and other items contained in BJPA’s vast storehouse of materials bearing upon North American Jewish communal life, dating from 1900 to 2013. BJPA owes its existence to the vision and generosity of Bill Berman of Detroit, the renowned leader in the Jewish federation movement (and elsewhere) who, among other exemplar leadership experiences, has served as President of the Council of Jewish Federations, the predecessor organization to JFNA. Since Pew Research Center’s A Portrait of Jewish Americans has touched off such passionate and crucial discussions among Jewish thought leaders, we open the Guide with links to the study itself, and to many (but by no means all) of the responses which the study has prompted. As always, please be in touch with any suggestions or reflections.

Section 1: Overview Many funders recognize that no single grantee can effect system-wide change alone. But they are also aware that the same applies to givers themselves. From mega-philanthropic mergers to local community efforts, collaborations - rather than solo efforts - have achieved some of the most ground-breaking social change programs today. Effective co-funding partnerships require both sensitive planning and sensible expectations. Yet surprisingly few studies and tools are available to those considering such synergies.

  • Gal Weinstein: Sun Stand Still Curator: Tami Katz-Freiman
    Pavilion of Israel at the 57th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia Gal Weinstein: Sun Stand Still Curator: Tami Katz-Freiman Preview: 10–12 May 2017 Inauguration of the Israeli Pavilion: Thursday, May 11, 1.00 p.m. Exhibition: 13 May – 26 November 2017 Sun Stand Still, Gal Weinstein’s project for the Israeli pavilion at the 57th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, is a new, site-specific installation which explores the human desire to stop time. Reflecting a fascination with actual and potential forms of creation and destruction, progress and devastation, this project critically engages with the mythological and Romantic images embedded in Israel’s collective memory. Each part of the exhibition is related to works created by Weinstein over the past decade, so that his entire oeuvre is woven into a single, cohesive installation. Gal Weinstein, Jezreel Valley in the Dark (detail of work in progress), 2017. Polyurethane, coffee, and sugar. The installation's title refers to the biblical miracle performed by the ancient Israelite leader Joshua Bin-Nun, who sought to win his battle against the kings of Canaan before darkness fell. By commanding the sun to stop in its course, Bin-Nun attempted to arrest the passage of time. The central axis of the project – Moon over Ayalon Valley – is a representation of this biblical miracle. The exhibition transforms the national pavilion – both physically and metaphorically – into an abandoned site; a desolate, moldy and decaying building whose days of glory have long passed, a ghostly space pervaded by signs of decline. Jezreel Valley in the Dark – a floor installation on the intermediate level – consists of puzzle-shaped agricultural plots filled with coffee dregs.

The Conference’s deliberations reflected the major issues and dilemmas on Israel’s national agenda in the fields of foreign policy, defense, economics, social policy, governance and Jewish peoplehood. The Conference took place during the period prior to the general elections. The traditional Herzliya Address was delivered by Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and he, like the other prime ministerial candidates, highlighted the principles that would govern his policy. The Conference also took place on the eve of the Palestinian elections that won Hamas the majority needed to establish a Hamas government. This development, along with others, led to the assessment that arose from the sessions on national security and foreign policy that 2006 would be a year of significant developments and critical decisions regarding the strategic threats facing Israel – the strengthening of Hamas and the looming confrontation with Iran over its nuclearization. Much of the rest of the Conference was devoted to the key domestic issues in Israel, particularly the maintenance of economic growth, welfare policy and the rule of law in the present political system.
