CHARNEY Today, Leon Charney is renowned as a lawyer, author, broadcaster, real estate mogul, political advisor and philanthropist – but the self- made billionaire’s rise to international prominence is truly a tale of a man living out the “American Dream.” With just $200 in the bank and an entrepreneurial spirit, Charney started his own law firm representing sports and show business personalities. That same spirit, combined with good judgment and creativity, led Charney to success in New York City’s highly competitive world of finance and investment. Ranked by “Forbes” as among the wealthiest Americans and named by “Bloomberg Business Week” as one of twenty billionaires who started with nothing, Charney is not your ordinary billionaire. Considered to be among the foremost authorities on Middle East affairs, Charney first entered the realm of politics as a Special Counsel to Sen.

    Acquiring basic skills - summer semester studies 447 participants attend the four Universities during the summer for summer courses on basic skills as well as for in-depth courses in fields studied in the program. The courses are conducted in small groups to enable effective learning. The summer courses have a number of aims: the universities - continued use of the empty university classrooms during the summer months for participants interested in expanding their knowledge; the participants - summer courses are optional: the participants come to these courses independently, and the aim is to develop commitment to independent learning; to expand the ripples of volunteering and social action - some of the summer courses were developed and are given by instructing-students who taught in the program in the past with the aim of expanding their social activity; the summer courses at Ben Gurion and Haifa Universities are given by adopting Kibbutzim - Kibbutz Beeri for Ben Gurion University, which has been accompanying the program for six years, joined by Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael, for whom this is the first year of accompanying the Haifa University. The summer courses are given by members of the Kibbutzim on a volunteer basis, which enables us to create an additional exciting meeting point between participants of the program and Israeli society, and to leverage social activity of the program to additional entities. Additional NGOs and corporations teach courses at a considerable discount and join in our social activity.

Executive producers, Donald Tanselle, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson. Co-producer, Vered Kollek-Meisel. Directed, edited by Harry Hunkele. Written by Jonathan Hicks, Hunkele, Matthew Tollin, Arick Wierson.

Eizenstat, Ahmed Maher, Meir Rosenne, Robert Lipshutz. The behind-the-scenes negotiations leading to the first Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel are revealed in all their riveting complexity in "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace." PBS docu helmer Harry Hunkele gained unprecedented access to major players for an enthralling dissection of the unlikely path to the groundbreaking treaty, though he bites off more than he can chew and needs to rein in a tendency toward portentous explication, underscored by the incongruous music of Moby and Whale Hawk. Despite such annoyances, the docu deserves widespread exposure on PBS and satcasters. The Camp David Accords, signed in 1978, marked an unlikely moment when idealism briefly triumphed over obdurate stonewalling. Though never entirely satisfactory, the accords offered the hope of a brighter future in the Middle East; the failure of that initial promise in no way diminishes the achievement, whose memory can still bring a lump to the throat.

    Israel (Includes West Bank and Gaza) 2020 International Religious Freedom Report

    ISRAEL (INCLUDES WEST BANK AND GAZA) 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation. The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.

Reporter - June 20, 2016 # 17643 ! 0 Bicycling in Tel Aviv FLICKR PHOTO Sylvan Adams’ goal is to turn Tel Aviv into “the Amsterdam of the Middle East.” He’s not dreaming about tulips or windmills, but bicycles. Adams, one of the top masters road and track cyclists in the world, envisions a Tel Aviv that is as bike-friendly as the Dutch capital. A Montreal real estate magnate who made aliyah in December, Adams has found a partner in the Jewish National Fund of Montreal (JNF) in helping make this a reality. The publicity-shy Adams, 57, has agreed to be the honoree of JNF’s annual Negev gala June 20. Proceeds will go toward the new Sylvan Adams Cycling Network, a project creating bike lanes between downtown Tel Aviv and its ever-expanding suburbs. Sylvan Adams Israel may still be thought of as an automobile- loving country, but cycling – for recreation and commuting – is becoming increasingly popular throughout the country, said Adams, a two-time world outdoor cycling champion in his age category. His most recent title was won at the World Masters Championship, held in Manchester, England, last November. Adams, who began cycling competitively about 20 years ago, is also a six-time Canadian and 15-time Quebec champion.
