Our mission is to improve the quality of life for blind and visually impaired Israelis, including IDF veterans and victims of terror. We do this by providing them with independence, safe mobility and self-confidence through the assistance of trained guide dog partnerships. For many blind and visually-impaired people the world can be a dark and isolating place. The Israel Guide Dog Centre for the Blind (IGDC) offers a beacon of light and hope for blind Israelis. The Centre serves as a positive model of social integration, and has dramatically impacted on the lives of thousands of Israelis over the past 25 years. The Centre was founded in 1991 by Noach and Orna Braun, who you will meet on day one of our adventure. You will hear personally from them how they have facilitated hundreds of ‘guide dog partnerships’. Before the IGDC existed the only way for blind Israelis to receive a guide dog was to travel overseas, to be fluent in English and to receive government approval. Today we offer all blind and visually- impaired Israelis the ability to have a trained guide dog provided free of charge in Israel. Sunday 12th May 2019 Arrival and Israel Guide Dog Centre Arrive at Ben Gurion airport where you will be greeted by our guides and representatives.

  • The Israeli Experience in Lebanon, 1982-1985
    THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE IN LEBANON, 1982-1985 Major George C. Solley Marine Corps Command and Staff College Marine Corps Development and Education Command Quantico, Virginia 10 May 1987 ABSTRACT Author: Solley, George C., Major, USMC Title: Israel's Lebanon War, 1982-1985 Date: 16 February 1987 On 6 June 1982, the armed forces of Israel invaded Lebanon in a campaign which, although initially perceived as limited in purpose, scope, and duration, would become the longest and most controversial military action in Israel's history. Operation Peace for Galilee was launched to meet five national strategy goals: (1) eliminate the PLO threat to Israel's northern border; (2) destroy the PLO infrastructure in Lebanon; (3) remove Syrian military presence in the Bekaa Valley and reduce its influence in Lebanon; (4) create a stable Lebanese government; and (5) therefore strengthen Israel's position in the West Bank. This study examines Israel's experience in Lebanon from the growth of a significant PLO threat during the 1970's to the present, concentrating on the events from the initial Israeli invasion in June 1982 to the completion of the withdrawal in June 1985. In doing so, the study pays particular attention to three aspects of the war: military operations, strategic goals, and overall results. The examination of the Lebanon War lends itself to division into three parts. Part One recounts the background necessary for an understanding of the war's context -- the growth of PLO power in Lebanon, the internal power struggle in Lebanon during the long and continuing civil war, and Israeli involvement in Lebanon prior to 1982.

  • BRIT XI Mobile Borders | Abstracts. Friday 9 September, Grenoble
    BRIT XI Mobile borders | Abstracts. Friday 9 September, Grenoble Session 38. Historical variations of mobile borders / Variations historiques des frontières mobiles (2) Adoram SCHNEIDLEDER, EHESS-CRFJ: Lebanese in the Galilee: Stabilizing the mobile Israel- Lebanon Border. Negotiated and defined in the 1920’s the colonial border between the French Mandate in Lebanon and the British Mandate in Palestine was to become the border between the future states of Lebanon and Israel. The creation of the State of Israel at the expense of Palestinian national aspirations however has laid the foundations for a diversified relation to this border amongst inhabitants of the Galilee today depending notably on their belonging to the indigenous Arab population or the immigrant Jewish population. The bending northwards of this border during the last twenty-five years of the 20th century (Israeli invasions, the “Good Fence” policy, and the establishment of the Security Zone in Southern Lebanon) which ended in the unilateral Israeli withdrawal of May 2000 was accompanied by a rapprochement of two regions (Upper Galilee and Jabal Amil of Southern Lebanon) which had previously undergone nearly 30 years of separation (1948-1976). This article proposes to explore dynamics in the stabilization and interiorisation of this border among inhabitants of the Galilee through the study of border-crossing practices of Lebanese currently residing in the Galilee. We will be considering two groups of Lebanese migrants, who arrived under two different structural circumstances and settled respectively on opposite sides of the Arab/Jewish spatial divide that runs through the Galilee. The first group is composed of Lebanese migrant workers who crossed the border during the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon and the “Good Fence” policy (from the late 1970’s until 2000).

  • Chapter 2 Is Mainly About ‘Hot’ Instructive Nationalism from Above and Elaborates on the Differences Between Nationalism in the Centre and Periphery

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 80,216 words. 2 Abstract The thesis provides a case study for how settler colonialism intertwined with ethno- nationalism to shape social identification in the Israeli town of Kiryat Shemona. Jews from Arab and Muslim lands were categorized by Zionist nation-builders as Mizrahim and disproportionally placed on the geographic and socio-economic margins of Israeli society to Judaise territory, to prevent the return of the displaced indigenous Palestinian population and to provide cheap labour for Ashkenazi settlements. They were excluded from the Ashkenazi-dominated centre of power, yet included as essential members of a militaristic frontier ethos.

  • Goodman's Blog
    The Goodman’s Blog Chapter 83 November 2019 ALIYAH IN OUR 60’s FROM ARLINGTON HTS, IL TO CAESEREA, ISRAEL (Part 83) SUZANNE & HOWIE GOODMAN Howie and Suzanne Goodman were valued members at Beth Judea until they decided to make aliyah in 2009. The Goodmans have agreed to provide us with a blog on their experiences as new olim in Israel. Though we continue to miss the Goodmans, we can all look forward to reading about their adventures in Israel through their blog. Aliyah in Our 60’s –November 2019 - Part 83 We hope you had very nice holidays. Howie had his 75th birthday on September 30th, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, and we were in shul. Our daughter and son-in-law, Beverly and Dani, wanted to do something special to celebrate, so Dani suggested a day trip to the Golan Heights on October 2nd. The grandchildren had school, so it was only the adults. Most of us know the history of what is called “The Golan.” It was captured from Syria in 1967 by Israel. Among other things, Syria wanted to block the sources of water for the Kinneret (Sea ofGalilee, ed.) and fired artillery and rockets into cities in Israel such as Metula and Kiryat Shmona. A Netflix movie, Map showing The Golan “The Spy,” shows Israeli spy Elle Cohen learning a lot about Syrian military plans. We also wrote in a newsletter about a year ago about a three-day tiyul in the Golan. Our earlier tiyul concentrated on the Golan near Syria (article continued on next page) Page 2 ALIYAH IN OUR 60’s (continued from previous page) Howie was excited since Dani had just been on active duty in the Golan near the Lebanese Border.
