    Current Projects fall 2004 mission statement Targum Shlishi is a foundation dedicated to providing a range of creative solutions to problems facing Jewry today. Premised on the conviction that dynamic change and adaptation have historically been crucial to a vibrant and relevant Judaism and to the survival of its people, Targum Shlishi’s initiatives are designed to stimulate the development of new ideas and innovative strategies that will enable Jewish life, its culture, and its traditions to continue to flourish. 2 ©2004 Targum Shlishi, Inc. All rights reserved. contents 3 INTRODUCTION 4 DIRECTOR’S LETTER 6 EDUCATION 12 WOMEN’S ISSUES 16 ISRAEL 20 JUSTICE FOR NAZI WAR CRIMES 22 SPECIAL PROJECTS 24 IN THE WORKS 25 ONGOING PROJECTS 26 ADDITIONAL RECIPIENTS 27 GRANTS 2003 30 STAFF 3 introduction The projects described here are those funded during 2003. Collectively, the projects we support represent Targum Shlishi’s beliefs and hopes. Some projects are practical and straightforward. Others are more creative and far-reaching. Some are practically guaranteed to meet with success. Others are risks.All point the way to a better present and future for the Jewish people the world over. The projects are grouped by category, beginning with our primary areas of focus: education, women’s issues, Israel, and justice for Nazi war crimes. There are other sections of the report: “Special Projects” describes projects that don’t fit into the four major categories, “In the Works” lists projects in early development, “Ongoing Projects” provides an update on projects that are continuing, and “Additional Recipients” lists projects to which Targum Shlishi contributes smaller amounts of general support.

  • Jewish Communal Fund's Generous Donors Had A
    his has been a record-breaking year for the Jewish Communal Fund, the donor-advised fund of the Jewish community of greater New York. We are very pleased that our donors distributed almost $300 million to thousands of worthy charities during the fiscal year Tending June 30, 2011. This represents the largest amount and number of grants recommended in a single year during JCF’s nearly four decade existence. Moreover, this extraordinary generosity was manifested in the midst of a prolonged economic downturn, while charities are struggling and especially grateful for the grants that have allowed them to maintain their necessary contribution to society. The Jewish Communal Fund is dedicated to providing our donors and their families with professional and efficient personal service—and the philanthropic community has taken notice. JCF received a four-star rating (the highest distinction possible) from Charity Navigator, an independent and well- respected charity evaluator. We were honored to be the highest-ranking Jewish organization in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s Top 400 national charities list, at No. 35. JCF also ranked third in The Chronicle’s list of most money raised among New York-based organizations. On the personnel front, Ellen Israelson recently was appointed Vice President of Marketing and Donor Relations, replacing our longtime staff member Abby Tucker, who relocated after 13 years of dedicated service. Ellen will expand JCF’s marketing efforts and oversee the development of services for all donors, including enhanced services for the Private Client division. IFT L We also engaged Michelle Lebowits to lead JCF’s Center for Next Generation Philanthropy— the gateway for young Jews in their 20s and 30s to become involved in philanthropy.

  • State Infringement on Basic Civil and Political Rights in Israel (From Mossawa)
    State infringement on basic civil and political rights in Israel (from Mossawa) This past year has seen a series of arrest of prominent political and civil society leaders, especially during peaceful demonstrations, which are indicative of the effect of the current government’s policies and actions on the exercise of basic civil and political rights, such as the freedom of speech and the right to demonstrate. Moreover, a government-backed bill threatening the independence and the work of Human Rights NGOs in Israel is currently being discussed at the Knesset. In 2009, over 70 people were arrested during a weekly peaceful demonstration in Sheikh Jarrah.1 In addition, seven hundred protesters were arrested during demonstrations to protest the war on Gaza.2 When considering these arrests, one must also take into account the recent government backed law granting amnesty to all 400 settlers who violently demonstrated against the Gaza disengagement.3 Again, in March 2010, the Israeli law enforcement authorities responded to protests in Jerusalem against the stagnation of the peace process by locking the city, which proceeded to massive arrests of demonstrators and the use of grenades and rubber-bullets on unarmed people.4 Proposed legislation to restrict foreign funding to Human Rights NGOs Following the release of the “Breaking the Silence” Testimony Report - a compilation of soldier’s testimonies which contradicted the official government version of what took place during operation Cast Lead in December and January 2009 in Gaza - the Israeli government publicly announced its intention to wage an ‘aggressive battle against NGOs it deems biased against Israel’.5 In essence, such a discussion threatens almost all Human Rights groups in Israel that advocate for the rights of Palestinians, as well as groups that actively oppose the inhumanity of the occupation, the illegality of the Wall, the construction of settlements, and war crimes committed in the West Bank and Gaza.

  • Together We Are Shaping a Better Israel
    TOGETHER WE ARE SHAPING A BETTER ISRAEL “WHEN WE FIGHT HARD ENOUGH, WHEN WE MOBILIZE LARGE ENOUGH, WHEN WE CALL LOUD ENOUGH, AND WHEN WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY, WE WILL SUCCEED.” Tamara Newman, Hotline for Refugees & Migrants and winner of the NIF UK Human Rights Awards 2018 TOGETHER WE ARE TAKING ACTION – AND IT’S WORKING Throughout 2018, we have been inspired by the tens of thousands of Israelis working together with our supporters here in the UK, who have taken a collective stand for the values of democracy, equality and justice. We have shown repeatedly that out of even the most difficult moments positive change can emerge. The stories we share in this review attest to our impact. 2018 WAS A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR FOR NIF IN THE UK. WITH YOUR HELP, WE WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE MORE PEOPLE – AND RAISE MORE MONEY – THAN EVER BEFORE. We raised an incredible £3.85 MILLION this year for our partner organisations in Israel and our educational work in the UK, and we achieved a 13% GROWTH in the number of donors. We also saw a significant increase in audience, with over4,800 PEOPLE REACHED through 67 events and speaking engagements. Our success this year reflects our growing relevance within the British Jewish community, and recognises an increasing number of people who identify with the powerful vision of Israel that we represent. We have learnt that when we amplify our voice, the voices of all those who support us are amplified too. We are proud that our commitment to building a better, more tolerant and more inclusive Israeli society is one that rings true with so many people here in the UK.
