It taught me values and what is truly important.” Tehila Azurbal is the youngest of eight children. Her parents both emigrated from Morocco to Israel in 1956. Tehila was born in Tzfat and graduated from the AMIT Evelyn Schreiber Junior and Senior Ulpana High School with a full bagrut (matriculation) certificate. She is currently performing National Service, working with children with autism. Tehila is interested in studying therapy for children with special needs after completion of her National Service. 4 The AMIT Reshet We are pleased to make available this comprehensive listing of all schools and programs in the AMIT Reshet (network) in Israel, and wish to thank Dr. Amnon Eldar, director general of AMIT, his assistant Cheryl Shanaan, and his outstanding staff for providing this information. The AMIT Network now includes 110 schools and programs serving more than 30,000 students in 29 cities, towns, and communities throughout Israel. Our students come from every strata of Israeli society. Significant percentages are new immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia as well as France, Argentina, Great Britain and other countries. As this directory indicates, AMIT educates children from kindergarten through junior college in a wide range of subjects and courses of study. Our student body encompasses potential high achievers as well as drop-outs; children with serious physical and emotional problems as well as young people fighting drug abuse and the effects of domestic violence. Today AMIT also must counter not only the immediate, but also the long-term effects of terrorism and an unstable political environment. For many of our students AMIT is their last chance – their best chance – to turn their lives around. AMIT instills confidence, knowledge, values and pride that enable each student to become a valued member of Israeli society. For 90 years, AMIT has assured Israel’s future by nurturing and educating its most precious resource, its children. In schools, youth villages and child havens throughout the country, AMIT has turned hope into reality. Your partnership in this endeavor is a lasting contribution to the future of the State of Israel.

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.
