(photo credit: AVIV GOTTLIEB) Chances are, you won’t be able to hear The Shalva Band’s new single. The eight-member singing group, made up mostly of young adults with a range of disabilities, released their first ever single on Monday. But, the group said, only 10% of Israelis will be able to hear it. That’s because only 10% of Israelis want their children to take part in activities alongside children with disabilities, a new survey revealed.

That’s how it feels, when only one out of 10 parents in Israel are willing for their children to participate or take part in or be around children with disabilities. And now, it’s time to change that.” https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Will-you-be-able-to-hear-The-Shalva-Bands-new-single-588181 4/11 4.5.2019 Will you be able to hear The Shalva Band's new single? - Israel News - Jerusalem Post להקת שלוה - הדלת תהיה פתוחה In order to view the video for the new single, titled “The Door Will Be Open,” music fans are asked to click and express their support for a “treaty of integration.” Only then are they redirected to the video of the song. The survey, carried out by the Israeli Association of Community Centers, showed that only 10% of Israeli parents gave their full support to integrating their children in activities alongside those with disabilities. “The Shalva organization has been in operation for almost 30 years, with the goal of advancing people with disabilities and integrating them into society,” said Shalva founder and president, Kalman Samuels, at the song’s launch on Monday. “We’re happy and excited for this incredible initiative and we believe there will be a significant change in Israeli society’s sensitivity toward those who are different, and their acceptance of them as equals.” The Shalva Band burst on to the scene late last year, when they participated in Hakochav Haba (Rising Star), the TV singing competition that selects Israel’s Eurovision contestant. The group advanced all the way to the finals, and won the hearts of tens of thousands of Israelis, but ultimately dropped out of contention due to their Shabbat observance. But KAN invited the group to perform during one of the live semi-final Eurovision shows next month. The band – made up of Dina Samteh, Anael Khalifa, Yosef Ovadia, Yair Pomburg, Tal Kima, Guy Maman, Sara Samuels and band director Shai Ben-Shushan – will also be performing next week at the national Independence Day ceremony. The band’s new song and the social initiative was launched together with Bank Hapoalim, The Israeli Association of Community Centers and with the support of YouTube.

The goal of YouTube is to allow every single person to make their voice heard, and express themselves.” Singer-songwriter Amir Dadon wrote the music for “The Door Will Be Open,” and penned the lyrics along with the band. “Don’t stop, keep walking,” sings vocalist Dina Samteh, “Whether it’s autumn or it’s spring.” Fellow singer Anael Khalifa chimes in: “There’s a life there that’s just waiting for you to live it.” Together the group sings: “At the end of the journey you’ll find your home/ And the door will be open.” Join Jerusalem Post Premium Plus now for just $5 and upgrade your experience with an ads-free website and exclusive content.

  • Michael Jackson: Was He the Man in the Mirror?
    Brunner 18.07.13 02:03 Journal of Integrated Studies, Vol 4, No 1 (2013) Michael Jackson: Was He the Man in the Mirror? Stephanie Brunner Stephanie Brunner will complete her MA of Integrated Studies through Athabasca University this winter. Her interests include mental health, particularly the social constructs of mental illness and, more particularly, the separation of mind/body. Abstract Michael Jackson did not like his reflection in the mirror. He was obsessed with it, changing it many times in an effort to love his image. In analyzing Michael Jackson’s responses given in various interviews regarding his appearance and personal history, it becomes increasingly evident the impact childhood trauma and loneliness has on mental well-being. It emerged that Michael Jackson should have been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and that had the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a diagnostic tool used by the medical profession, been more clear as to the importance of etiology, and the diagnostic features more concise and encompassing rather than fuzzy and overlapping, Michael Jackson may have been effectively diagnosed and treated, avoiding becoming the man in the mirror. Keywords: NPD, narcissism, celebrity, Michael Jackson, childhood trauma “The repression of childhood pain influences not only the life of an individual but also the taboos of the whole society.” Alice Miller Imagine looking out into a crowd and having your idealized self reflected back at you. Michael Jackson spent most of his life transforming himself to mirror his idealized reflection; he morphed into something that was unlike his appearance as a child, seemingly assimilating a Peter Pan-like world into his reality – even naming his estate Neverland Ranch.

  • CONTEMPORARY JEWISH ISSUES Spring 2020
    Tel Aviv University International CONTEMPORARY JEWISH ISSUES Spring 2020 Instructor: Dr. Moshe Gresser - [email protected] Course Description: This course will explore in an inter-personal and dialogical way a series of issues that engage and concern contemporary Jews, through readings and class discussions. Issues will be set in the context of relevant Jewish laws, traditions and selected texts, to provide necessary Jewish substance and background. The tension between tradition and modernity, as well as that between Israel and the Diaspora, especially America, will serve as the backdrop for many of these issues, so vital to the Jewish future. Class discussion will attempt to develop the skill of listening in order to articulate the intelligence of opposing views, while struggling to discern the truth - the classic Jewish procedure in an "argument for the sake of Heaven." Required Reading: Articles and texts in the Readings for Contemporary Jewish Issues, available online on the course Moodle site. Occasional handouts in class. Grading System: 1) Preparation, Attendance and Class Participation, as measured by 4 Class Discussion Reports done in class over the course of the semester: 20% Please Note: In order to facilitate a non-distracting and intellectually productive learning environment, cell phones, texting, Ipods, laptops, PDAs, and their accompanying earpieces are NOT allowed during class.
