About the Shalom Hartman Institute The Shalom Hartman Institute is a center of transformative thinking and teaching that addresses the major challenges facing the Jewish people and elevates the quality of Jewish life in Israel and around the world. A leader in sophisticated, ideas-based Jewish education for community leaders and change agents, SHI is committed to the significance of Jewish ideas, the power of applied scholarship, and the conviction that great teaching contributes to the growth and continual revitalization of the Jewish people. Proudly Israeli, Proudly Jewish The pluralistic, values-based Be’eri Jewish-Israeli identity education program enables secular Israeli high school students to reclaim ownership of their Jewish identity by presenting them with a Judaism that is meaningful and relevant to their daily lives. A resource center for high schools, Be’eri introduces hundreds of educators and tens of thousands of students throughout Israel to a multi-faceted and diverse approach to Judaism. Through the pursuit of Jewish values, concepts, and texts, Be’eri creates a critical shift in the personal and national identity of Israeli youth from a range of socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds, advancing their transformation into proud Jews and revealing to them — often for the first time — that there are many different and inspiring ways to be Jewish. The program instills in them a greatly enhanced sense of mission and an understanding that they are an integral part of a nation and its heritage, culture, and purpose. “The Be’eri program and the Shalom Hartman Institute have been the perfect partners to lead the Jewish-Israeli identity education process and with which to fulfill our dream. The senior staff of our local schools participated in an intense learning process. All of the city’s secular high schools have joined the Be’eri program and are benefitting from close professional guidance and assistance in promoting learning and action in the schools. The joint effort with the Be’eri program has broadened the awareness towards Jewish-Israeli identity to wider circles of our municipal community.” - Haya Shitay, Head of the Education Department, Modi’in Municipality “The taste of Jewish texts that I was given at Brenner gave me a thirst for learning about the basic values of our people and undoubtedly paved the way for me to appreciate universal morality and rational thought. With the help of the direction that I received in high school, and the Be’eri program that Brenner participated in, I learned how to approach texts in a broader and more complex way.“ - Uri Fox, Graduate, Y.C.

Be’eri works closely with schools as well as governmental and municipal partners, and other educational organizations, from which it enjoys significant support. Profoundly influencing students, teachers, principals, parents, and municipal change agents, Be’eri directly reaches: > Hundreds of teachers and principals through its School for Teacher Education and directed professional facilitation > More than 75,000 students in some 100 schools through its unique curriculum and government and privately funded classroom hours > Leadership of six municipal partners > Student leaders in partnership with HaMidrasha at Oranim (North), the Yaacov Herzog Center (South), and Bina (Tel Aviv) The quality of the Jewish educational experience afforded by Be’eri has earned the program national recognition, which includes support and certification from the Israeli Ministry of Education. Be’eri School for Teacher Education in Partnership with Keren Karev The Be’eri School for Teacher Education at the Shalom Hartman Institute offers graduates Israeli Ministry of Education certification as Tarbut Yisrael teachers. The School spearheads original, new pedagogic methods for providing educators with in-depth knowledge in various Tarbut Yisrael disciplines (oral law, Jewish philosophy, and bible) and familiarizes them with Be’eri curricula and the pedagogic

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • The Kibbutz. Awakening from Utopia
    The Israeli kibbutz, the twentieth century’s most interesting social experiment, is in the throes of change. Instrumental in establishing the State of Israel, defending its borders, creating its agriculture and industry, and setting its social norms, the kibbutz is the only commune in history to have played a central role in a nation’s life. Over the years, however, Israel has developed from an idealistic pioneering community into a materialistic free market society. Consequently, the kibbutz has been marginalized and is undergoing a radical transformation. The egalitarian ethic expressed in the phrase “From each according to ability, to each according to need” is being replaced by the concept of reward for effort. Cooperative management is increasingly giving way to business administration. “The kibbutz movement produced a miracle. Yet even miracles cannot ignore changing times. Having had the privilege of being a kibbutz member for many years, I know that the savor of the experience never fades. Daniel Gavron has written an amazing story about a living wonder.” — Shimon Peres “An important historical study, a book that will be read and reread for years to come. I know of no book that equals it as a study of the kibbutz movement. No student of Israel should be without this book. It is inspiring and quite wonderful.” — Howard Fast Daniel Gavron THE KIBBUTZ Awakening from Utopia Digital edition: C.
