Training for Executives INNOVATION in TEL AVIV TRAINING FOR EXECUTIVES TEL AVIV NONSTOP CITY "If people want to see the future of the world economy, they should look at Tel Aviv – home to hundreds of startups and research centers." Barack Obama The President of the United States March 21, 2013 Dear Students, China and Israel share many of the same values: they are both ancient cultures with rich traditions dating back thousands of years but which are facing forward and nurturing innovation, creativity and technology. Israel, the ‘Startup Nation’, boasts some of the world’s leading academic institutions and functions as an incubator for Noble Prize winners, groundbreaking researchers, entrepreneurs and visionaries. At the heart of the Startup Nation lies the Startup City, Tel Aviv, Israel's financial and cultural center. Academic institutions in the Greater Tel Aviv area offer high-level, international programs focusing on innovation, technology and management in one of the world’s most vibrant urban centers. We invite you to be a part of Israel's dynamic technology and innovation scene, and hope to host you soon at one of our excellent academic institutions. Sincerely, Yaakov Peri Minister of Science, Technology and Space 3 Shalom! As the heart of the ‘Startup Nation’, Greater Tel Aviv is the perfect place to pursue your studies. A hub of academic excellence, the city boasts over 100,000 students in 20 world-class universities and colleges. The city is also one of the most appealing destinations in the world. With 14 kilometers of beaches, 300 days of sun a year, one of the world's most vibrant nightlife scenes and a thriving cultural and artistic life, Tel Aviv is a global city – and a particularly safe and pleasant one. The city has set a strategic goal to increase the number of Chinese students and visiting executives at our academic institutions. For that end, our institutions have created tailor-made programs to meet the needs of Chinese who seek to learn and experience our startup ecosystem. I invite you to be a part of our initiative. We hope to see you among the thousands of international students and academics currently living, studying in and enjoying our city. Sincerely, Ron Huldai Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo 4 Dear Students, Despite the thousands of kilometers that separate vast China from tiny Israel, the two nations share many similar values: both are ancient cultures; both place a high value on education; both are at the forefront of developments in technology and innovation; and both see progress as the key to prosperity and success. In recent years, the bonds between Israel and China have been strengthened. The government of Israel has set the strengthening of its bond with China as a strategic objective, and we are delighted that China has embraced this objective as well. One of the ways we have identified to bring the two nations closer together is through the exchange of knowledge. Many Israelis study Chinese language and culture. Similarly, many Chinese tourists seek to visit Israel. One of the main attractions is the city of Tel Aviv, the beating heart of the Israeli innovation and technology industries. Spending time in Tel Aviv allows one the opportunity to observe up close the processes which have made the city a global hub for entrepreneurship and innovation. This booklet describes the academic and enrichment programs the Greater Tel Aviv area has to offer. Many academic institutions in Greater Tel Aviv have formulated programs designed specifically for senior Chinese executives and students, and we are pleased to see that the number of such visitors is consistently on the rise. Sincerely, Matan Vilnai Ambassador of Israel to China 5 Tel Aviv is home to 13 startups per square kilometer - the highest concentration in the world Tel Aviv Climate: Max. Average temp. 28.3° c Min.

  • Israel (Includes West Bank and Gaza) 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL (INCLUDES WEST BANK AND GAZA) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.

Reporter - June 20, 2016 # 17643 ! 0 Bicycling in Tel Aviv FLICKR PHOTO Sylvan Adams’ goal is to turn Tel Aviv into “the Amsterdam of the Middle East.” He’s not dreaming about tulips or windmills, but bicycles. Adams, one of the top masters road and track cyclists in the world, envisions a Tel Aviv that is as bike-friendly as the Dutch capital. A Montreal real estate magnate who made aliyah in December, Adams has found a partner in the Jewish National Fund of Montreal (JNF) in helping make this a reality. The publicity-shy Adams, 57, has agreed to be the honoree of JNF’s annual Negev gala June 20. Proceeds will go toward the new Sylvan Adams Cycling Network, a project creating bike lanes between downtown Tel Aviv and its ever-expanding suburbs. Sylvan Adams Israel may still be thought of as an automobile- loving country, but cycling – for recreation and commuting – is becoming increasingly popular throughout the country, said Adams, a two-time world outdoor cycling champion in his age category. His most recent title was won at the World Masters Championship, held in Manchester, England, last November. Adams, who began cycling competitively about 20 years ago, is also a six-time Canadian and 15-time Quebec champion.

  • Short Synopsis a Queer Country Explores the Development Of
    Short synopsis A Queer Country explores the development of Israel’s buzzing LGBTQ community in Tel Aviv – recently crowned the gay capital of the world – and what this means in a religious state. Using interview access to Tel Aviv’s mayor, who is controversially credited with pioneering its LGBTQ scene, the film uncovers how liberal attitudes are often at odds with the country’s religious laws. Despite hosting one of the world’s largest gay Pride events each year, Israel’s LGBTQ citizens face an uphill battle to achieve political victories such as the right to marry. They face continued violence – as demonstrated at Jerusalem Pride 2015. Interweaving the personal and political, the film builds an intimate portrait of Israel and its internal struggle between liberal and conservative attitudes, often drowned out by the conflict at its borders. The very question of Israel being an LGBTQ “champion” is controversial; some accuse the country of “pinkwashing”. This is an allegation that promoting LGBTQ culture is a way of detracting from human rights violations in the Palestinian Territories. Some people believe you cannot celebrate the rights of some minorities while ignoring others’ lack of them. The documentary raises these questions and seeks to answer them by telling the true story of how Israel’s LGBTQ community came into being. Longer synopsis The documentary explores the dichotomy that weaves its way through all aspects of Israeli life – a nation governed by Orthodox civil law, and yet, one which hosts the world’s biggest gay Pride. In daily life, two very different worlds exist shoulder to shoulder.
