  • San Diego Builders of Israel Free Copy
    SAN DIEGO BUILDERS OF ISRAEL 1948 – 2008 Dear Builders of Israel, families and friends, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Federation of San Diego County we want to congratulate and thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for the State of Israel. The recognition and kavod you have received by being named a Builder of Israel are well deserved. The United Jewish Federation of San Diego County was established ten years before the founding of the State of Israel. Even then our predecessors knew the importance of our commitment to the future State. Todah rabah, Kenneth D. Polin Michael S. Rassler Board Chair C.E.O. Dear Friends, For many generations it has been a Jewish tradition to use the phrase “until 120” when wishing one another longevity. The age of 60 is considered relatively young for people in current times. That said, how young would a country be considered, when at the same age? Well, it would probably be considered a teenager state. We all have great expectations and high aspirations for this child that took 2000 years to conceive. Just like a teenager, its body has not fully developed yet, and it has yet to finalize its curves and features. However, when it is time to reflect on its achievements to date, we most certainly have a lot to be proud of as parents. As we have been preparing for this year long Israel @ 60 experience, planning for the different events, we came to realize the full magnitude of this miracle.

  • JFNA Israel Terror Relief Fund
    Phase I – November 18, 2012 Immediate Relief and Direct Services to Vulnerable Populations 1. Recreational Day Activities for Children and Youth (JAFI) – Children and youth from across the South were invited to join day respite trips during the current crisis. The purpose of these trips was to bring some relief to children who had experienced great stress and difficulties during the crisis, and to provide their parents with a sense of relief while their children were safely cared for. The immediate action was also of importance in conveying to the local communities that they are not alone in a time of crisis. This allocation allowed for 8,699 children from impacted areas to be taken on respites. Youth were invited to join these respites from the following cities and regional councils (R.C.): Gedera, Eshkol R.C., Sha'ar HaNegev R.C., Sdot Negev R.C. Hof Ashkelon R.C., Sderot, Merchavim R.C., Ofakim, Netivot, Shafir R.C., Kiryat Malachi, Bnei Shimon R.C., Be'er Sheva, Absorption Centers in Kiryat Gat, Ashkelon, and Ibim. 2. Victims of Terror (VOT) Fund (JAFI) - The Victims of Terror Fund answers the urgent needs of Israelis whose lives are profoundly disrupted by terror and armed conflict in Israel. The Fund provides counseling, emergency grants, and instrumental assistance to individuals and families, including: medical equipment, treatment and other help that is not provided by the State. Emergency cash grants are disbursed in the immediate aftermath of an event while larger sums for things such as tuition assistance, rental or mortgage payment assistance, basic furnishings, repairs and home equipment, and counseling, may be provided at a later date.

In Budapest, we will explore the contrast between past and present Jewish life in Hungary. We will mourn the past in Raoul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park, but, more impor- tantly, we will witness positive signs for the future of the Hungarian Jewish community as we visit Svarvas summer camp and meet with inspiring young leaders. In Israel we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of a momentous accomplish- ment, Operation Exodus, and explore how we can continue to help Israel effec- tively in the future. We will learn about the most pressing issues facing Israel today, including the unique challenges the Ethiopian immigrant community faces. Visits to our partners’ programs will deepen our understanding of the issues and of the impact of our work, and make us more knowledgeable and more inspired Federation leaders. This journal contains helpful background information on the places we will visit. Because we will see and learn so much in the coming week, it also provides room for you to record your reflections and take notes we know you’ll find useful when you return home. Thank you so much for joining us on this mission, for serving as a leader in your community, and for being so dedicated to tzedakah and tikkun olam.

    I Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research Albert Katz International School for Desert Studies LOCALIZATION OR CAVIAR? KIBBUTZ BUSINESS ADAPTATIONS TO COPE WITH RISING TRANSPORT FUEL COSTS Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of “Master of Science” By Dana Shapiro March 2011 III Abstract Many rural communities face unfavorable market structures and rising global competition; at the same time, one longstanding cost assumption – the availability of cheap fuel – is being called into question. Since at least the 1950s, rural development strategies have largely been premised on long distance transportation to reach markets and centers of employment. Over the past 20 years, however, oil prices have risen and undergone dramatic fluctuations. Thus, while the large distance from consumer and employment markets has always represented a relative disadvantage for rural communities, volatile fuel prices have intensified this challenge. In Israel, fuel prices doubled between 2004 and 2008, and are still among the world's highest. In parallel, Israel’s Kibbutz Movement, an association of collectivist rural settlements, has undergone massive structural changes in the past two decades, leading most kibbutzim to adopt a ‘renewed,’ more privatized organization. The resulting variation among kibbutzim, coupled with high and volatile transport fuel prices in Israel, provides a natural laboratory to explore how community collectiveness affects rural organizations’ sensitivity to market changes as well as their capacity to adapt to those changes. This study analyzes over 100 enterprises belonging to nine kibbutzim in three regions of Israel, with varying degrees of remoteness and isolation. Through focused interviews with community and business managers, we examine the methods used by kibbutz firms to cope with rising transport costs.

    Dear Friends, We are pleased to send you this month's update to the Board of Governors on activities, challenges, and ongoing issues. We always welcome your feedback and comments. Natan Sharansky Charles Ratner Chairman of the Executive Chairman of the Board RESCUE OF YEMENITE JEWS On March 20th, a group of Yemenite Jews landed in Israel following a complex covert operation by The Jewish Agency for Israel. Some two hundred Jews have been secretly rescued from Yemen by The Jewish Agency in recent years, including several dozen in recent months, as threats against the Jewish community have increased and the country has descended into civil war. Nineteen Jews arrived in Israel in recent days, including 14 from the town of Raydah, and a family of five from Sanaa. The group from Raydah included the community’s rabbi, who brought with him a Torah scroll believed to be 500 - 600 Photo of Yemenite olim from recent years is illustrative. years old. This is a highly significant moment in the history of Israel and of Aliyah. From Operation Magic Carpet in 1949 until the present day, The Jewish Agency has helped bring more than 51,000 Yemenite Jews home to Israel. Attacks against Jews in Yemen have risen sharply since 2008, when Jewish teacher Moshe Ya’ishNahari was murdered in Raydah. In 2012, AharonZindani was murdered in Sanaa and a young Jewish woman was abducted, forced to convert to Islam, and forcibly wed to a Muslim man. As Yemen has descended into civil war and the humanitarian situation in the country has worsened, the Jewish community has found itself increasingly imperiled.
