  • Enlightening Adventure in Israel Led by Rabbi Shira Joseph February/March 2022 with Optional Petra and Negev Extension (As of 7/19/21)
    Congregation Sha’aray Shalom Enlightening Adventure in Israel Led by Rabbi Shira Joseph February/March 2022 with optional Petra and Negev Extension (as of 7/19/21) Israel is a land of connections and reconnections. It is a place that both holds nostalgia and awaits rediscovery. Over the decades, so much in Israel has changed dramatically, yet the essence that draws us remains the same. Traveling together as a community on Rabbi Joseph’s farewell tour, we will bond through our shared experiences and enhance our understanding of culture and archaeology, religion and politics, the ancient and the modern, as we delve in-depth into Israel’s millennia-old legacy as heart of the Jewish People. Day 1: Monday, February 21, 2022: DEPARTURE • We depart the United States on our overnight flight to Israel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 2: Tuesday, February 22, 2022: WELCOME TO ISRAEL! • Shalom and Bruchim Habaim—welcome to Israel! Upon arrival, we are met by an Ayelet Tours representative and begin our adventure. • Ascend into the Judean Mountains and stop at Natan Rapoport’s Scroll of Fire sculpture in the Forest of the Martyrs. This dramatic sculpture commemorates Jewish history from the Holocaust through the founding of Israel through dramatic scenes of destruction and rebirth. • Upon entering Jerusalem, we stop at the Haas Promenade to say Shehecheyanu as we look out over the City of Gold. • We check into our hotel and join for a welcome dinner this evening. Overnight in Jerusalem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 3: Wednesday, February 23, 2022: DIGGING INTO JERUSALEM • Breakfast at our hotel. • We visit Yad L’Kashish, the Lifeline for the Aged, an inspiring artisan workshop which empowers and supports hundreds of elderly and disabled Jerusalem residents.

    Regional Overview – Middle East 5 March 2019 acleddata.com/2019/03/05/regional-overview-middle-east-5-march-2019/ Tom Hart March 5, 2019 Throughout the Middle East region last week, overall instances of battles continued to decrease, while remote violence events, such as airstrikes and IED attacks, also decreased following a two-month upward trend. Despite this, reported fatalities increased significantly, especially in Yemen, where the above trends were reversed. Demonstration events, meanwhile, decreased across all countries in the region. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the main focal point of news reports last week. On 28 February, a UN Human Rights Council probe concluded that Israeli soldiers may have committed war crimes and/or crimes against humanity in their response to the Great Return marches in Gaza, which included the fatal shooting of medics, journalists, children, and disabled persons (Times of Israel, 28 February 2019). On the same day, Israel’s attorney general announced his intention to indict Netanyahu for bribery, fraud, and other charges with just 40 days before his re-election run (New York Times, 28 February 2019). In response, Israelis took to the street of Tel Aviv and demonstrated for his resignation. Whilst hundreds of Israelis took part in the demonstration against the PM, there were reports of only a few dozen demonstrating in his support. Meanwhile, in the southern province, a number of incendiary balloons were launched across the border from Gaza throughout the week. One such balloon exploded mid-air and caused damage to a number of homes in the Eshkol Regional Council, while another caused a fire in Kissufim forest.

  • Made in Israel: Agricultural Exports from Occupied Territories
    Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 The Coalition of Women for Peace was established by bringing together ten feminist peace organizations and non-affiliated activist women in Israel. Founded soon after the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, CWP today is a leading voice against the occupation, committed to feminist principles of organization and Jewish-Palestinian partnership, in a relentless struggle for a just society. CWP continuously voices a critical position against militarism and advocates for radical social and political change. Its work includes direct action and public campaigning in Israel and internationally, a pioneering investigative project exposing the occupation industry, outreach to Israeli audiences and political empowerment of women across communities and capacity-building and support for grassroots activists and initiatives for peace and justice. www.coalitionofwomen.org | [email protected] Who Profits from the Occupation is a research center dedicated to exposing the commercial involvement of Israeli and international companies in the continued Israeli control over Palestinian and Syrian land. Currently, we focus on three main areas of corporate involvement in the occupation: the settlement industry, economic exploitation and control over population. Who Profits operates an online database which includes information concerning companies that are commercially complicit in the occupation. Moreover, the center publishes in-depth reports and flash reports about industries, projects and specific companies. Who Profits also serves as an information center for queries regarding corporate involvement in the occupation – from individuals and civil society organizations working to end the Israeli occupation and to promote international law, corporate social responsibility, social justice and labor rights.

The strike killed the driver, Ahmad al- Ja’bari, head of the military branch of Hamas in Gaza, and a passenger, Muhammad al-Hams. This attack, which followed on the heels of weeks of escalation in violent incidents at the border between Gaza and Israel, launched Operation Pillar of Defense. The operation lasted eight days, ending on 21 November 2012, when Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire. According to the IDF Spokesperson, over the course of the eight days of the operation, the Israeli military attacked approximately 1,500 targets, including underground rocket launchers, arms-smuggling tunnels and weapons storage facilities.1 According to figures B’Tselem collected on the campaign, the Israeli military killed 167 Palestinians, including at least 87 who did not take part in the hostilities, 32 of whom were minors.
