  • 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.

  • Fredrika Shavit V. Rishon Lezion Jewish Burial Society
    CA 6024/97 Fredrika Shavit v. Rishon Lezion Jewish Burial Society The Supreme Court sitting as the Court of Civil Appeals [July 6, 1999] Before Court President A. Barak, Justices M. Cheshin, I. Englard. Facts: Petitioner challenged the refusal of a Jewish burial society to allow an inscription on her mother's tombstone recording the dates of birth and death according to the Gregorian, as well as the Hebrew, calendar. The district court held that the recently-passed Alternative Burial Law permitted Jews to bury their loved ones in civilian cemeteries, not according to Jewish religious law, had the effect of overturning previous court rulings requiring Jewish burial societies to permit non-Hebrew characters and dates on tombstones. Sites have yet to be established for alternative burial. Held: Jewish burial societies have a public, as well as a private, character, and as such are subject to public law. The Alternative Burial Law did not have the effect of overruling previous holdings requiring Jewish burial societies to permit non-Hebrew lettering. This is particularly true because the statute has yet to be implemented. Barring family members from recording the names of their deceased loved ones in the language of their choice harms the sensibilities of the relatives and the human dignity of the deceased. It outweighs the potential harm to the sensibilities of religious visitors to the cemetery who may be offended by the non-Hebrew lettering, particularly considering that the Jewish law prohibition against inscribing non-Hebrew calendar dates and letters is not sweeping and comprehensive. Furthermore, the weight accorded to the sensibilities of religious people offended by practices that violate religious law decreases in the public domain, like a cemetery, as compared to the weight such harm is accorded in the private domain, like the home.

  • Caravan Dekel Southeast Caravan 2018 MEET GALI Hello, My Name Is Gali and I'm 16 Years Old
    Caravan Dekel Southeast Caravan 2018 MEET GALI Hello, my name is Gali and I'm 16 years old. I was born on July 25th, 2001 in Kiryat Ono. Currently I live in Ganey Tikva. My mother's name is Shirly and she works for the government, and my father's name is Rami and he is an architect. I have two siblings. Shahar is 19 years old. Both of us like to dance and share our love for the Scouts. Today Shahar serves as a soldier in the army next to Eilat in the South. Ori is the youngest brother and he is 13 years old, and with the little time we have, we enjoy each other very much. He isn’t in the Scouts but he plays tennis in his free time. My main hobby is dance. I dance since 4th grade in Mahola, which is a local dance group. I dance twice a week and l love it. My favorite dance styles are modern and ballet. Every six months we put on a show that all my family and friends come to see, I love performing on stage. My second hobby is Tzofim- the Scouts. I have been in the Tzofim since the 4th grade (since I was about 10 years old). Last year I guided a group of 5th grade girls and this year I'm in charge of ten guides. I enjoy this position because it is fun and I think that I have a good influence on younger kids and on my team of guides.
