  • Municipal Amalgamation in Israel
    TAUB CENTER for Social Policy Studies in Israel Municipal Amalgamation in Israel Lessons and Proposals for the Future Yaniv Reingewertz Policy Paper No. 2013.02 Jerusalem, July 2013 TAUB CENTER for Social Policy Studies in Israel The Taub Center was established in 1982 under the leadership and vision of Herbert M. Singer, Henry Taub, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The Center is funded by a permanent endowment created by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation, the Herbert M. and Nell Singer Foundation, Jane and John Colman, the Kolker-Saxon-Hallock Family Foundation, the Milton A. and Roslyn Z. Wolf Family Foundation, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. This volume, like all Center publications, represents the views of its authors only, and they alone are responsible for its contents. Nothing stated in this book creates an obligation on the part of the Center, its Board of Directors, its employees, other affiliated persons, or those who support its activities.

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.

  • The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods
    The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods The Yemeni, Mizrahi, and Balkan Children Affair: Lost Infants, Shattered Motherhoods Ruth Amir, Yezreel Valley College, Israel Abstract Between 1948 and 1954, at least 1,500 children between 0-4 years had disappeared from childcare facilities and hospitals in tent camps, transit camps, and hospitals in Israeli towns. About two-thirds were of Yemeni origin. Although these disappearances follow a shared pattern, the Yemeni case stands out due to a directive issued by the cabinet that ordered the forcible removal of Yemeni infants to infants’ homes in the immigrants’ camps. Three commissions of inquiry investigated this ethnically-based child- removal policy, yet its dire consequences were never challenged or reviewed. What remains missing from the accounts is a gendered and intersectional perspective of the involvement of women’s organizations and the mothers’ experiences. I The Yemeni, Mizrahi and Balkan Children Affair (hereinafter the Affair) permeates the Israeli public agenda in a tenacious cyclicality for nearly 80 years. Three commissions of inquiry that investigated the children’s whereabouts have not only left many open questions but generated new ones. Questions such as the number of disappeared children and the temporal framework remain uncertain and contested, and so are the grim outcomes. Nevertheless, beyond these important questions, other queries keep accumulating. Who ordered the removal of children from their parents? Why were the children forcibly removed? How was it justified? Were children of other ethnicities also targeted? Moreover, there is a need for a gendered perspective for construing women and feminist organizations’ involvement on the one hand and the victims’ intersectionality on the other.

Actually this Pesach season has not been too busy as many Israelis seem to prefer to stay at home and wait until after the elections or they just spent too much money last year. The fact that travelling overseas has become so easy and relatively cheap now-a-days means that it is not so easy to tempt you with special deals or cheap flights. Those are so easy to come by. As I've said many times before, one actually needs to be a bit adventurous and to plan going off the "Beaten" track a bit. I just returned from Thailand with a direct EI-Al flight — approximately $ 1.200 lands you in a completely new and exciting world which is really worth a visit. As Eastern Europe is now completely open to Israelis, a few days in Prague. Budapest. Berlin and Sofia, await the real adventurous amongst you. We are now heading into the shoulder season, the airfares go up on the 15th of June and remain high until the end of September.
