The SAZF and Israel Centre jointly arranged the two-kilometre walk. The walk, also billed a “celebration of life” and a “family fun day”, attracted walkers from non- Jewish Israel supporters as well. The walk had six stops along the way, all named after six Israeli cities and places of interest: Eilat, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva, Haifa and the Golan Heights. At each stop there were various activities organised by the JNF, Betar, Habonim, Netzer, Israel Centre and Bnei Akiva. There was a raffle at the end of the walk and an iPad was donated by Israel Centre as the prize. The walk - and the entertainment - was thoroughly enjoyed by young and old.

  • Kotel Deal Headed to High Court?
    7/18/2016 Kotel Deal Headed To High Court? Kotel Deal Headed To High Court? Liberal leaders here and in Israel press case amid stalled implementation. 07/13/16 Joshua Mitnick Contributing Editor USCJ’s Rabbi Steven Wernick, left, prays at Western Wall last week. Joshua Mitnick/JW Jerusalem — Frustrated over Israel’s stalled implementation of a compromise to establish a pluralistic prayer plaza at the Western Wall, an alliance of Israeli and North American liberal Jewish groups are vowing to escalate pressure on the ground at the Jerusalem holy site and in the Israeli courts. In an open letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week signed by leaders of Women of the Wall as well as the U.S. and Israeli branches of the Reform and Conservative movements, the allies said they are preparing to petition Israel’s High Court to create the long­fought­for area for pluralist and egalitarian prayer at the plaza. Though the government and the allies agreed in January to establish an upgraded prayer plaza in the southern section of the Western Wall — known as Robinson’s Arch — the opposition of ultra­Orthodox coalition members has since blocked progress on implementing the deal. Annoyance of the allies deepened last week when Israel’s Attorney General Avichai Mendelblitt ruled against holding mixed, pluralistic prayer in the rear section of http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/israel­news/kotel­deal­headed­high­court 1/3 7/18/2016 Kotel Deal Headed To High Court? the main plaza, which is not partitioned into women’s and men’s sections.
