Prime Minister of Canada 6 NEGEV GALA >>> DIGNITARY LETTERS MESSAGE FROM THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF MANITOBA “The best means of benefiting the community is to place within its reach the ladders upon which the aspiring can rise,” said American industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. For more than six decades, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Manitoba & Saskatchewan has played a significant role in supporting the development and enhancement of programs and infrastructure that are enhancing the lives of thousands of citizens in Israel. Each year, your organization also honours an individual who has served the Manitoba community and beyond with great distinction through their talents, philanthropic efforts and commitment to excellence. This year’s honouree, Dr. Ted Lyons, is most deserving of this prestigious honour. A leader, a scientist, a teacher and a philanthropist, he has built an outstanding career in medical research and education that is not only benefitting society now, but will have positive ripple effects for generations to come. As the Queen’s representative in Manitoba, I extend vice-regal congratulations to Dr. Lyons for sharing your gifts for science and education with a grateful provincial – and global – community. Your support of the Bervin JNF Canada House for Excellence in Sderot further demonstrates your visionary commitment to education and admirable worldview. I also comment JNF and the Negev Gala organizers for your good works and choice of Dr. Lyons as this year’s guest- of-honour. Together, you are contributing to the greater good and setting a standard of citizenship and generosity for others to follow. I wish you every success. The Honourable Janice C. Filmon, C.M., O.M.

It was an exhilarating event encapsulating what Hand in Hand is all about - bringing up the next generation, impacting society, building community, and institutionalizing equality. I was especially touched to hear the following words spoken by Sarah Sheikh, a Hand in Hand graduate, who shared: “The Hand in Hand education wired our brains differently – I am wired to assume that there will always be more than one angle to an issue, and I have the ability, for the rest of my life, to listen – even when it’s something that’s difficult to hear.” More than anything, the past year has been about growing. We operated six Hand in Hand schools with 1,835 students and community work reaching some 10,000 people. We laid the groundwork to build a seventh community and school, this time in Nazareth Illit. Our talented educators have been creating new multicultural syllabi, standardizing curricula teaching Arabic as a second language, and developing platforms to share Hand in Hand principles and learning with schools across the country.

This has given rise to a “pale of settlement,” as it were, where one finds many English-speakers and sometimes even bubble-like American communities. This pale of settlement, for lack of a better name, has Yerushalayim at its center, and stretches out to Ramat Beit Shemesh, Kiryat Ye’arim (Telshe Stone), Modi’in Ilit and Beitar Ilit, each of which Wis within a half-hour drive from Yerushalayim. People who live there may visit Tzfas and Meron, weddings and other events may take them to Bnei Brak, but by and large, the community of English-speaking olim has been keeping to its familiar turf — Yerushalayim and its satellite chareidi towns. However, housing prices went up drastically over the past two decades, and many people can no longer afford to buy a house or apartment within the Yerushalayim orbit. Will this force many English-speaking olim to give up on their dream of settling in Eretz Yisrael? Since the high prices are a challenge to Israeli chareidim as well, a tour was recent- ly conducted by a group of Anglos (as English-speakers living in Eretz Yisrael are sometimes referred to), each serving as representatives for larger groups, to see how Israelis are coping.

  • 1St Connection Between Baseball and Opera
    Baseball & Opera (compiled by Mark Schubin, this version posted 2014 April 14) 1849 : 1 st connection between baseball and opera: Fans of American actor Edwin Forrest, who is playing Macbeth in New York, hire thugs from among ballplayers at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey (1 st famous ball field) to disrupt performances of British actor William Macready, also playing Macbeth in New York at what had been Astor Opera House. Deadly riot ensues; Macready is rescued by ex-Astor Opera House impresario Edward Fry, who later (1880) invents electronic home entertainment (and probably headphones) by listening to live opera by phone. 1852: Opera-house exclusivity dispute with composer’s niece Johanna Wagner forms legal basis of baseball’s reserve clause. 1870 : Tony Pastor’s Opera House baseball team is covered by The New York Times (they won). 1875 : San Francisco Chronicle reports on that city’s opera-house baseball team. 1879 : Pirate King role created for Signor Brocolini, who, as John Clark, played first base for the Detroit Base Ball Club. 1881 : Dartmouth College opera group performs to raise money for college’s baseball team. 1884 : Three telegraph operators, James U. Rust, E. W. Morgan, and A. H. Stewart, present live games remotely. One sends plays from ballpark, second receives and announces, third moves cards with players’ names around backdrop. Starting in Nashville’s 900-seat Masonic Theater, they soon move to 2,500-seat Grand Opera House, beginning half-century of remote baseball game viewing at opera houses (also Augusta, GA Grand Opera House starting 1885). 1885 : The Black Hussar is probably 1 st opera with baseball mentioned in its libretto (in “Read the answer in the stars”).

  • Mahapach-Taghir
    Mahapach-Taghir Mahapach-Taghir: Creating Change through Solidarity between Marginalized Jewish and Arab Communities By Adi Dagan This essay is the latest in our series of ‘Kolot: Voices of Hope’ profiles of Israelis and Palestinians furthering the cause of peace and equality. Find all the profiles in this series here. Mahapach-Taghir (“change” in, respectively, Hebrew and Arabic) is a grassroots Jewish-Arab organization for social change, founded in 1998. Our overall goal is to promote a shared society in Israel with equal opportunities for all, by: (a) Building leadership in Arab and Jewish communities in the periphery – the areas outside Israel’s more urbanized central region – through empowerment and formal and informal education; (b) Promoting solidarity and equality between social groups; and (c) Facilitating participatory democracy, civil leadership, and more effective local governance. The marginalized communities where we work face some of the greatest barriers to quality education and jobs due to discriminatory policies. They are also systematically excluded from decision-making processes at the community, municipal, and national levels. Our organization has been working with Arab and Jewish communities for over 20 years. In that time, we have gained extensive experience – becoming part of the local communities, listening to their needs, and building leadership and Arab-Jewish partnership based on political values of democracy, equality, and human rights. The “Learning Communities” At the heart of Mahapach-Taghir’s work are the Learning Communities. The Learning Community is a holistic, inclusive, and intergenerational empowerment and educational model. It strives to provide equal educational opportunities to children and youth in disempowered marginalized neighborhoods, while encouraging the civic participation of local residents, parents, and college students.

  • Israel 2020 Human Rights Report
    ISRAEL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, its parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “state of emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve itself and mandate elections. On March 2, Israel held its third general election within a year, which resulted in a coalition government. On December 23, following the government’s failure to pass a budget, the Knesset dissolved itself, which paved the way for new elections scheduled for March 23, 2021. Under the authority of the prime minister, the Israeli Security Agency combats terrorism and espionage in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The national police, including the border police and the immigration police, are under the authority of the Ministry of Public Security. The Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for external security but also have some domestic security responsibilities and report to the Ministry of Defense. Israeli Security Agency forces operating in the West Bank fall under the Israeli Defense Forces for operations and operational debriefing. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security services. The Israeli military and civilian justice systems have on occasion found members of the security forces to have committed abuses. Significant human

  • Mid-Year Impact Report 2020
    Mid-Year Impact Report 2020 This mid-year update is written in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic with its global shut- downs and financial insecurities, and in the shadow of the regional threats of annexation of the Jordan Valley and the Palestinian Territories. The Oasis of Peace model of shared living created between Arabs and Jews based on peace, and mutual respect has sustained the community during both of these threats The Primary School (PS) Beginning in March, the children studied from home during the Corona virus lock-down and only returned to school in May. Closing again for another two weeks because of a positive test, the school re-opened with one week of the school year remaining. Children were greeted by the most fantastic sight - new playground equipment (see below), dedicated in loving memory of the Little Lori purple playground, whose earlier playground was home to 25 years of Primary School students! More equipment will be added this year. During the last three months registration for the new school year with 85 applicants for the 34 spaces for Kindergarten was completed. All available places for the two classes of each grade 1-6 have been filled. Several years of study have gone into the question of growing into a bilingual, multicultural middle school; the planning stage for this is likely to begin this year. Like families around the world, some parents were furloughed from work and had great difficulty paying for tuition and transportation. Parents who could afford to keep one child in school, spoke about needing to take the second child, or both, out.

  • Primary Implementing Organization Unistream
    Final Report Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders Today Primary Implementing Organization Unistream 1 Description of Work Unistream’s Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders Today was an innovative, three-year program that brought together youth from seven socio-economically disadvantaged Arab and Jewish Israeli communities (Akko, Nazareth Ilit, Julis, Netanya, Afula, Sahknin, and Rahat) ages 14-18 to work together toward a mutual goal of developing, establishing and managing their own startup companies. The program employed a people to people approach to conflict mitigation, while supplying participants with tools for economic empowerment – Unistream’s unique mechanism to enacting long term and sustainable impact. The process included brainstorming and formulating an idea, establishing a company, assigning roles, planning and executing market research, writing a business plan and working to raise capital through activities in the Entrepreneurship Centers and peak regional and national events. This specially honed business pedagogy was tailored for maximum meaningful, people to people interaction that would in turn spark the desired change. In the process, participants gained mutual understanding, as evidenced through monitoring and evaluation, for members of the other group, based on shared goals; while at the same time learning valuable business skills and expanding their professional networks that created a conducive environment for socioeconomic advancement. In addition, participants received leadership and social entrepreneurship training, engaging their broader communities through volunteer initiatives extending the impact of the program to indirect beneficiaries. All activities took place under the guidance of Jewish and Arab mentors, which, as discussed below, added both the professional and business elements as well as further Jewish/Arab interaction.
