According to an estimate based on the results of the municipal amalgamations reform carried out in Israel in 2003 (Reingewertz, 2012), thanks to the economies of scale in providing public services, these unifications are expected to generate savings of approximately NIS 131 million per annum.

    LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE by Abigail Sone A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Abigail Sone 2009 LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE Abigail Sone Department of Anthropology University of Toronto PhD 2009 Abstract of Thesis This dissertation demonstrates how changes in spatial boundaries map on to changes in the boundaries of national belonging through an ethnography of linguistic and spatial practice in a divided landscape. In Israel, as in many places around the globe, new forms of segregation have emerged in recent years, as violence and the fear of violence become increasingly bound up with the production of social difference and exclusion. In Wadi Ara, a valley in the north of the country where my fieldwork was based, segregation between Jewish and Palestinian citizens has dramatically increased since the fall of 2000, as the place of Palestinians in a Jewish state is being reconfigured. In this dissertation I focus on the changing movements and interactions of Jewish Israelis in Wadi Ara as they articulate with changes in the ways difference, belonging, and citizenship are organized on a national scale. I examine how increased hostility, fear, and distrust have become spatialized; how narratives of the past shape contemporary geographies; how competing ways of interpreting and navigating the landscape are mediated; and how particular forms of encounter are framed. My central argument is that through daily linguistic and spatial practice people in Wadi Ara do more than just make sense of shifting boundaries; they bring these boundaries into being and, in the process, they enact both self‐definition and exclusion, reflecting and circumscribing ii the changing place of Palestinians in Israel.

  • A New Approach for Allocating a New Party's Budget During an Election Campaign Irit Talmor1 2 and Osnat Akirav3
    A New Approach for Allocating a New Party's Budget during an Election Campaign Irit Talmor1 2 and Osnat Akirav3 Received: 12 November 2020 | Accepted: 29 June 2021 | Published: 8 July 2021 Abstract During pre-election campaigns, parties make great efforts to persuade constituents to vote for them. Usually, new parties have smaller budgets and fewer resources than veteran parties. Generally, the more heterogeneous the party’s electorate, the more critical the issue of resource allocation. This paper presents a method for new parties to efficiently allocate campaign advertising resources and maximise voters. The model developed uses the Pareto principle and multi-criteria approach, integrating the party’s confidential data together with official open-to-all data. We implemented the model on a specific new party during the intensive political period before the April 2019 elections in Israel, finding that the model produced clear and unbiased results, and this made it effective and user-friendly for strategy teams and campaign managers. Keywords: election campaign; Multi-Criteria Decision Making; in-depth surveys; voting patterns; Pareto approach Introduction freedom available. Private companies are free to decide when to launch their The pre-elections political campaign commercial campaign and when to end it, of a new party can be compared to the whereas political parties must conduct marketing campaign for a new commercial their campaigns during a time frame that is product (Lilien et al., 1992; O’Cass, 1996; dictated by law.

In both campaigns, huge difference is related to the timing of the efforts are made to persuade voters marketing campaign; unlike standard (consumers) to choose the new party marketing campaigns, the election (product) over better-known ones (Gordon campaign of a new party is conducted et al., 2012).

The program will continue next year, 2019–2020, and we plan to work together with educators in the United States and Australia in order to have the program included in major educational systems abroad. We will also aim to distribute the Materials to Jewish-education systems in Europe. We have begun building a pilot program in New York in collaboration with the Piyut North America project together with the B’nai Jeshurun community in New York City. Tell about the state of the program (where the program stands as of the date of the activity report, no more than ten lines): The year 2019 is the fourth year in which the program has been implemented widely in kindergartens throughout Israel. The program operates in thirty different local authorities, from Beersheba in the south to Shlomi in the north. We went up another level this year in implementing the program, as there are 26 different in-service courses that deal with piyut in kindergarten. Most of these courses are given in the Ministry of Education’s Pisgah Centers for educational staff development, while some are given in meetings of supervisors with the kindergarten teachers under their supervision.
