It looks like there will be many people left at home this year - mainly those who didn't book in advance. After the great success of last year, we are proud to announce that we are again operating 2 special tours for music lovers which will be led by Brenda Miller. ^Russia - 19/5 - 2/6 ^Prague - 19/6 - 26/6 We have a few seats left on these tours (not many). Please call Ifat or Ilanit for a detailed Itinerary and registration form. In February, Carol and I went for the 2nd year running to the Cape, absolutely beautiful - Hog-Hollow outside Plettenberg. The Tides - a bed and breakfast in Plettenberg - 40 dollars per night! Leisure Island in Knysna - The Lanzerac in Paarl - wow! What a place and then we discovered a beautiful new B/B in Cape Town on the sea - a real find. Magnificent scenery, great food (and reasonable!!!) Interesting events - we even saw the opera Tosca a the Spiers Summer Festival performed at an outdoor Amphi in their Stellenbosch Wine Estate!! Just to remind those of you looking for something "different" for the summer, don't forget the great trip that I mentioned on the waterways (canals) of France that we did last August, it is really a must.

  • Exporting Zionism
    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

    FULFILLMENT ^^^Mi^^if" 41" THhODOR HERZL FULFILLMENT: THE EPIC STORY OF ZIONISM BY RUFUS LEARSI The World Publishing Company CLEVELAND AND NEW YORK Published by The World Publishing Company FIRST EDITION HC 1051 Copyright 1951 by Rufus Learsi All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without written permission from the publisher, except for brief passages included in a review appearing in a newspaper or magazine. Manufactured in the United States of America. Design and Typography by Jos. Trautwein. TO ALBENA my wife, who had no small part in the making of this book be'a-havah rabbah FOREWORD MODERN or political Zionism began in 1897 when Theodor Herzl con- vened the First Zionist Congress and reached its culmination in 1948 when the State of Israel was born. In the half century of its career it rose from a parochial enterprise to a conspicuous place on the inter- national arena. History will be explored in vain for a national effort with roots imbedded in a remoter past or charged with more drama and world significance. Something of its uniqueness and grandeur will, the author hopes, flow out to the reader from the pages of this narrative. As a repository of events this book is not as inclusive as the author would have wished, nor does it make mention of all those who labored gallantly for the Zionist cause across the world and in Pal- estine. Within the compass allotted for this work, only the more significant events could be included, and the author can only crave forgiveness from the actors living and dead whose names have been omitted or whose roles have perhaps been understated.

  • Back and Forth: Commuting for Work in Israel Haim Bleikh*
    1 Executive Summary Back and Forth: Commuting for Work in Israel Haim Bleikh* Full research study published in October 2018 The subject of commuting has attracted more and more public attention in Israel in recent years as road congestion levels continue to rise with the increasing number of commuters. Over the last 30 years, the number of employed persons working outside their residential area has risen from 42 percent to 54 percent (as of 2016) among Israelis of working age (25-64). The main mode of commuting is by private car and the number of rides has grown faster than road expansion — creating the traffic jams that have become all too familiar. Commuting distance, time, and mode of transportation Most trips to work are short. Three out of every four workers ages 25-64 travel 20 kilometers or less to reach their workplace, mostly in private vehicles (for 2014-2016). About 60 percent of workers travel for no more than half an hour, 30 percent between half an hour and an hour, and about 10 percent travel for over an hour in each direction. Regarding the choice in mode of transportation — 62 percent commute to work by car (including shared rides) and only 17 percent commute by public transportation. About 10 percent commute by bicycle or by foot and 8 percent commute by work- organized transportation. There are large differences in commuting patterns in different parts of the country. For example, in both Jerusalem and Petah Tikva many commuters travel between half an hour and an hour, but in Jerusalem (where 91 percent of residents work within the city) this seems to be due to the extensive use of public transportation and large city size while, in Petah Tikva, a higher percentage use a private vehicle and commute distances of up to 20 kilometers, indicating that the travel time is a result of traffic congestion.
