Bringing Happiness to the Children's Ward Greetings to the Partnership family! Spring is here ... days of revival and blossoming, programs, missions, volunteers, young adults, youth and many more. We are pleased to share with you a little of what recently happened in the Partnership. We wish you and your families a happy holiday and may you too enjoy growth and renewal. ~ The Partnership staff How special connections in the Partnership are built? Watch the Partnership story Bringing happiness to the Children's Ward Today, 8th graders in the Teen Leadership program brought a smile to the faces of children hospitalized in the children's ward of HaEmek Medical Center. Over recent weeks the teens had collected a wealth of games, toys, sweets, and arts & crafts activities from schools in Migdal HaEmek and Nazareth Illit. They brought their 'treasure chest' of toys and games to the hospital and played with the children during the morning hours, handed out bags of treats to the young patients and of course left all of the games they'd collected as a donation to the Children's Ward. How wonderful it is to make others feel good! Tamarack 2016 – preparing for the trip This is the 15th year in which more than 80 teens from the Partnership region will travel for an unforgettable summer experience at Tamarack summer camp. Teens from Jezreel Valley, Nazareth Illit and Migdal HaEmek are presently getting ready for their departure to the camp this summer. "Naim Beyachad" – carving out a trail for the Partnership Path Some thirty-five 10th graders from the Partnership region and the village of Yafiya joined hands to carve out a one-kilometer segment of the Partnership Path called 'Naim Beyachad'. The segment connects between Kfar Hachoresh, Nazareth and Yafiye. With rolled up sleeves and hoes in hand, the teens cleared a walking and cycling path that completes the 55- kilometer circuit connecting between local communities in Jezreel Valley, Migdal HaEmek, Nazareth Illit, Old Nazareth and Yafiye. Happy Purim to Detroit lone soldiers Amazing Teen Leadership participants collected sweets from schools in our three partner municipalities and put them in to packages- Mishloach Manot for purim to the Detroit lone soldiers in Israel Partnership family sending a big hug to the dear soldiers . Recent visitors to the Partnership region The JFMD Steering Committee and the Israel & Overseas Committee visited. A teen mission from Ann Arbor visited Nahalal where the teens were hosted for 10 days. A Families Mission from Temple Kol Ami was hosted in Kibbutz Hanaton. A CEO delegation met with local hi-tech entrepreneurs. The Grosfeld Mission met with Teen Leadership and Taglit-Birthright participants spent an entire fun and engaging day in the Partnership region. So what's ahead of us? An exciting and activity-packed summer awaits us! A delegation of 8th graders from Hillel Day School will meet with teens in the Teen Leadership program; a delegation of 12th graders from a Detroit Jewish High School will meet with teens from Hoshaya; two new Taglit-Birthright groups will visit us in May and June, followed by a Mifgash in Detroit for the Birthright Israelis; and of course, approximately 80 teens will embark for a one-month stay at Tamarack summer camp in June-July, while 12 Israeli teens will join more than 100 teens from Detroit on the Federation’s Teen Mission during the month of July. And many more to come .

  • Haya Graetz-Ran
    Haya Graetz-Ran Many of her works follows the feminine feminist voice which is absent from the narrative of the Zionist enterprise, as being studied in the school system and became fixated in the Israeli masculine art scene. Graetz-Ran operates as a painter who is both a researcher and an artist and uncovers testimonies such as personal diaries, objects from the past and photographs. Present reality of violence permeates through the seemingly innocent painting of Graetz-Ran and reflects on dimensions of breadth and depth of the public domain: nation, community and also the realm of the individual. The subjects of the creation of Graetz-Ran deals with the connection and the continuity of local history, mainly of Jezreel Valley. By unearthing historical photographs, which she liberates from old family albums and converting the image from photography to painting, she revives a past reality and stimulates a discourse about forgotten themes. Hence, the graceful paintings of Graetz-Ran raises difficult questions about seduction, memory and nostalgia and arouses the sleepy arteries of painting with new liveliness of layers of time gone by. This painting is feminist, ethical and political. Her works are included in museum collections as well as in private collections. She lives in Kiryat-Tiv’on. The studio is in kibbutz Sha'ar Ha'Amakim. Selected Solo Exhibitions 2018 Unread. Ramot Menashe Art Gallery , Ramot Menashe. Curated by Miri Verner. 2014 About Pioneers and Bears in Afula.

  • MAN NEAR a ROMAN ARCH Once I Was Sitting on the Steps Near the Gate at David's Citadel and I Put Down My Two Heavy Baskets Beside Me
    MAN NEAR A ROMAN ARCH Once I was sitting on the steps near the gate at David's Citadel and I put down my two heavy baskets beside me. A group of tourists stood there around their guide, and I became their point of reference. "You see that man over there with the baskets? A little to the right of his head there's an arch from the Roman period. A little to the right of his head." "But he's moving, he's moving!" I said to myself: Redemption will come only when they are told, "Do you see that arch over there from the Roman period? It doesn't matter, but near it, a little to the left and then down a bit, there's a man who has just bought fruit and vegetables for his family."

  • The Masorti Guide to Aliyah
    The Masorti Guide to Aliyah The Masorti movement in Israel seeks to welcome every new and or potential Conservative oleh. Together with our sister organizations: Machon Schechter; the TALI Schools, the United Synagogue’s Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center; the Conservative Yeshiva; Ramah day camps; Nefesh B’Nefesh and the Jewish Agency, Masorti is committed to reaching out, even before the potential oleh has made his or her decision. In that context, Masorti recently set up a committee on Aliyah and Klitah. Some of the committees’ many projects are represented in this electronic booklet that is designed to offer the reader a brief capsule description of the many and rich available resources that are available to Conservative olim. The reader will find links, enabling him or her to download more information about kehillot (congregations), institutions of higher education, Tali schools and much more. Thank you to the project’s editor, and new olah, Bonnie Ras who took over mid-stream when the original editor, Jordana Bickel — and also new olah – entered a new phase in her career with MASA, shortly after the project was launched. My thanks also to my committee that worked directly on this project with me: Josie Arbel, Judy Gray and Ruth Ritterband. And thank to Yizhar Hess, executive director of Masorti and Emily Levy-Shochat, Masorti president for their support and understanding. Aliyah remains an option open to every Conservative Jew, wherever he or she is to be found. It is hoped that this booklet will, in some small measure, contribute to the process which ultimately results in Aliyah and a successful Klitah.
