Mazal Tov! Celebrating Successes in the ICEI Network 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* FEBRUARY 2020 Mazal Tov! Celebrating Successes in the ICEI Network We are delighted to share exciting news of the exceptional achievements of four schools in the ICEI Network. The Yavne School in Hadera and the Dekel School in Ashkelon, both in the lowest socio- economic ranking of schools in the ICEI network, have received the highest possible scores in the Ministry of Education’s Meitzav, the state-wide standardized "Measures of School Efficiency and Growth" exam in Hebrew language and literacy, which is administered in fifth grade. The Meitzav exam is the only compulsory state-wide standardized exam administered in Israeli elementary schools by the Ministry of Education. The Yavne School's achievement is outstanding in relation to its previous score, and both schools scored significantly higher in comparison to other schools with similar socio-economic rankings, and far above the national average of all Hebrew speaking elementary schools in Israel. Proof of Concept: Yavne Hadera School's Rising Meitzav Scores Over Time file:///D:/Downloads/ACCESS-2_5_20/ICEI_FEBRUARY_2020 (copy 01).html 1/10 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* According to the Ministry of Education's Multi-Year Scale, Yavne School in Hadera progressed by 50 points from 2011-2016, while other elementary schools with similar socio-economic ranking progressed by only 16 points and from 2016-2019, Yavne School progressed by an additional 48 points while other similar schools progressed by only 9 points. Significantly, as part of the Meitzav, Yavne and Dekel school students expressed extreme enthusiasm regarding the love of reading and writing, and their Hebrew language studies in general, all central foci of the ICEI It's Elementary! program. The schools also received stellar ratings on "school atmosphere" and "sense of safety", two key qualitative measures of the Meitzav, reflecting a reduction in violent behavior in school. Congratulations from the ICEI team to Yavne Principal, Moshe Amram and Dekel Principal, Tamar Lazarovitz, their faculties and students. file:///D:/Downloads/ACCESS-2_5_20/ICEI_FEBRUARY_2020 (copy 01).html 2/10 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* It's Elementary! Program in Action at Yavne School, Hadera The Dizengoff School in South Tel Aviv has been awarded the 2019-20 Top Elementary School Award of the Ministry of Education's State-Religious System. The Sinai School, one of four ICEI schools in our Atzmaut Plus program in Rishon LeZion, has been awarded the 2019-20 Top Elementary School Award of the Ministry of Education's Central District, the largest school district in all of Israel. Congratulations to Principals Tomer Rabi and Anat Dahan, respectively, their faculties, and the ICEI teams in these schools, for these well-deserved milestones. ICEI welcomes new Arab education staffers: Sally Awad Asfour & Rawiya Boulos Kittan file:///D:/Downloads/ACCESS-2_5_20/ICEI_FEBRUARY_2020 (copy 01).html 3/10 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* Sally Awad Asfour Rawiya Boulos Kittan The Israel Center for Educational Innovation (ICEI) is thrilled to announce that it is preparing to launch an Arab Schools Initiative which will adapt its successful whole school turnaround program, It's Elementary! to serve the needs of low-income, underperforming Arab elementary schools in Israel. Arab elementary schools account for 50% of the “red” or “chronically failing” elementary schools in Israel. ICEI’s program has been accepted as a “pilot project” for the Arab School system by the Ministry of Education. Arab elementary school students score consistently lower than their Jewish-Israeli counterparts in the Meitzav standardized test in Israel, and demonstrate a pronounced weakness in Arabic literacy skills, which impacts their academic outcomes in all subject areas. The most recent PISA (the Program for International Student Assessment) exam results from 2018 showed that while Israeli students in Jewish schools were scoring closer to the international average, students in Arab schools were scoring far below that – and that their outcomes were even lower than in previous years. Similar gaps exist in the percentage of Jewish and Arabs students qualifying for high school matriculation certification. ICEI’s Arab Schools Initiative, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, seeks to transform Arab schools in some of Israel’s poorest and most neglected communities by drastically improving school leadership and instruction, equalizing educational opportunity, reaching out to parents and promoting social mobility for students. file:///D:/Downloads/ACCESS-2_5_20/ICEI_FEBRUARY_2020 (copy 01).html 4/10 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* Sally, Rawiya and ICEI team meet with members of the Social Venture Fund (SVF) for Jewish-Arab Equality and Shared Society, an early investor in ICEI's Arab Schools Initiative, November 2019. Front row (l-r): SVF Members: Alison McWilliams, Doris Gordon, Tzivia Schwartz Getzug, Joshua Arnow, Roberta Eliot, Batya Kallus Back Row (l-r): Amir Shacham, Lilli Stern, Stuart Brown, Dan Kaplan, Bob Gordon, Don Futterman (ICEI), Eti Bukshpan (ICEI), Phyllis Bernstein, Rawiya Boulos Kittan (ICEI), Sally Awad Asfour (ICEI), Karen Katzman, Lee Perlman (ICEI). During the past year, ICEI has recruited two young and dynamic educational leaders to spearhead this initiative. Sally Awad Asfour is the Director of ICEI’s Programs for Arab Communities and Rawiya Boulos Kittan is ICEI’s Arab Literacy Supervisor. Sally served as the Founding Principal of the Ajial School for Special Education in Nazareth, growing a small program serving a few dozen students to a Grades 3-12 framework serving all Arab communities in northern Israel. Sally is also a PhD candidate at Hebrew University, a former lecturer and pedagogical instructor at the Oranim College of Education and mentored other principals for the Ministry of Education. Rawiya has some 20 years’ experience as a teacher of Arabic and has served as Regional Superintendent for Arabic Language for the Ministry of Education. She has extensive experience in training teachers in the field of Arabic language education and the integration of technology in education. Sally and Rawiya have been adapting ICEI’s proven pedagogical and leadership methodologies to meet the needs of Arab schools, to adapt to the unique characteristics of Arabic language instruction as well as ensuring the program is culturally appropriate for Arab elementary schools. ICEI aims to launch the program in 2-4 pilot schools in the 2020-21 academic year. file:///D:/Downloads/ACCESS-2_5_20/ICEI_FEBRUARY_2020 (copy 01).html 5/10 2/5/2020 *|MC:SUBJECT|* ICEI Celebrates Sigd In November 2019, ICEI hosted celebrations of the traditional Ethiopian Sigd holiday in schools across our nation-wide network. Sigd, an Ethiopian-Jewish and now national Israeli holiday marks the longing of Ethiopian Jewry to return to Jerusalem. One of the largest celebrations in our network of schools (see photos below) took place as part of ICEI's Atzmaut Plus program in Rishon LeZion, featuring stations for students led by parents and faculty to learn about and sample traditional Ethiopian musical instruments, foods, clothing, hairstyles and the Amharic alphabet.

  • Emergency in Israel
    Emergency in Israel Emergency Update on Jewish Agency Programming May 16, 2021 The recent violent events that have erupted across the country have left us all surprised and stunned: clashes with Palestinians in Jerusalem and on the Temple Mount; the deteriorating security tensions and the massive barrage of missiles from Gaza on southern and central Israel; and the outbreak of unprecedented violence, destruction, and lynching in mixed cities and Arab communities. To say that the situation is particularly challenging is an understatement. We must all deal with the consequences of the current tensions. Many of us are protecting family, coworkers, or people under our charge while missiles fall on our heads night and day, forcing us to seek shelter. We have all witnessed the unbearable sights of rioting, beating, and arson by Arab and Jewish extremists in Lod, Ramla, Acre, Kfar Qassem, Bat Yam, Holon, and other places. As an organization that has experienced hard times of war and destruction, as well as periods of prosperity and peace, it is our duty to rise up and make a clear statement: we will support and assist populations hit by missile fire as we did in the past, after the Second Lebanon War and after Operations Cast Lead and Protective Edge. Together with our partners, we will mobilize to heal and support the communities and populations affected by the fighting. Our Fund for Victims of Terror is already providing assistance to bereaved families. When the situation allows it, we will provide more extensive assistance to localities and communities that have suffered damage and casualties.

  • The Motif of Desolation in Nineteenth-Century Exploration of Palestine
    The Motif of Desolation in Nineteenth-Century Exploration of Palestine Michael Press In 1858, the London firm John Murray published what was probably the first modern travel guide to Palestine. Murray specialized in travel literature; their travel handbooks were the forerunners of the famous Blue Guides. The Palestine guide was written by Josias Leslie Porter, an Irish Presbyterian missionary who had been resident in Damascus for nearly a decade, and was based on his own travels through Palestine in the 1850s. Among the sites he visited (in 1858) was ‘Asqalān – that is, Ashkelon of the Bible, Ascalon of classical and Crusader history, which lay abandoned since its final destruction in 1270 CE. Porter described his first view of the site, after climbing up the earthen ramparts of the city, in this way (from the 1868 edition): Clambering up the broken battlements, we have Ascalon spread out before us—no! not Ascalon, only the place where it once stood. The northern and larger section of the site is now covered with gardens, divided by rough stone fences, and filled with vines, pomegranates, figs, and apricots, in addition to luxuriant beds of onions and melons. Scarcely a fragment of a ruin can be seen from this spot except the broken wall. As I sat here one morning I counted 5 yokes of oxen ploughing, 2 drawing water for irrigation, and 28 men and women engaged in agricultural work! Such is one section of Ascalon. The remaining portion is even more terribly desolate.1 The description is remarkable. Porter immediately follows a fairly detailed report on the thriving fields and gardens of Ashkelon with the implication that they are “terribly desolate.” What explains what seems, to us, such an unexpected characterization? This paper is the beginning of an attempt to articulate an answer.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.
