The Jews of South Africa 2005 - Report on a Research Study THE JEWS OF SOUTH AFRICA 2005 - REPORT ON A RESEARCH STUDY SHIRLEY BRUK RESEARCH Prepared for Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at the University of Cape Town May 2006 THE JEWS OF SOUTH AFRICA 2005 - REPORT ON A RESEARCH STUDY No part of the report may be reproduced without permission of the author ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is a Kaplan Centre initiative, with the need for the study being recognised specifically by Mendel Kaplan. The study will hopefully make a useful contribution to the data bank relating to South African Jewry and will be yet another contribution from Mendel Kaplan to the Jewish Community of South Africa. We are fortunate to have been able to base the study design and questionnaire on the 1998 JPR study1 since this set the basic format and allowed for important comparative data to be obtained. There have however been a large number of changes to accommodate the 2005 objectives. This study was designed and undertaken by Shirley Bruk. Appreciation goes to Professor Milton Shain of the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at the University of Cape Town for his support and input. Valuable input relating to the questionnaire was also obtained from Yehuda Kay, National Director of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies. The review of the questionnaire by representatives of various Jewish communal and religious organisations provided useful suggestions prior to commencement of the survey. These suggestions and amendments were incorporated wherever possible. Thanks to all those who made a major contribution to this study i.e. Carmen Mayers and her team for their integrity, enthusiasm and commitment to quality and to the project as such. This appreciation also extends to the interviewers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban, for their data-gathering and for their commitment which was often beyond the call of duty. In addition, thanks go to: David Saks of the Board of Deputies, Kevin Parry of Statistics South Africa and also organisations which provided communal register data for Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban. 1 The 1998 study was undertaken by The Institute for Jewish Policy Research in London (JPR) in association with the Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at the University of Cape Town. Decision Surveys International (DSI) was the market research company which conducted the fieldwork, sampling and data processing under the direction of Shirley Bruk who also provided input for making the questionnaire relevant to the South African situation. The study was reported on in: Barry A. Kosmin, Jacqueline Goldberg, Milton Shain, Shirley Bruk, Jews of the ‘new South Africa’: highlights of the 1998 national survey of South African Jews.

It was recognised that a new survey is necessary. The initial brief for the survey was that the focus this time should be on gathering data which will be helpful to the community. A two-pronged approach has been utilized to achieve this i.e. Where relevant, questions from the 1998 survey were repeated to allow for comparisons and thus detection of trends and changes. With the results from the 1998 survey as a benchmark, the repetition of key questions allowed for the monitoring of changes in the last seven years. Furthermore, the issues can be remeasured in future surveys thus enabling us to keep a finger on the pulse of what is happening within the Jewish community i.e. we would be developing an “attitude-needs-and- behaviour-pattern barometer”. In addition, a battery of new questions have been included to heighten the usefulness of the survey to the community This study, as was the 1998 study, is a Kaplan Centre1 initiative. The study design and questionnaire have been based on the 1998 JPR2 survey to allow for comparisons and for detection of trends. However, the questionnaire was sizeably trimmed, amended and supplemented in accordance with the new 2005 objectives. To ensure that the survey was indeed geared to communal requirements, preliminary versions of the questionnaire were submitted to representatives of various Jewish communal organisations for their comments and suggestions. In addition, there were a number of meetings and amendments relating to the study and questionnaire so as to ensure the gathering of useful, meaningful information. 1 The Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at the University of Cape Town. 2 The 1998 study was undertaken by The Institute for Jewish Policy Research in London (JPR) in association with the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research at the University of Cape Town.

Additional documents relating to more detailed analysis of the findings were prepared by Shirley Bruk. 1 STUDY OBJECTIVES: Some key issues investigated in this survey are: ¾ Schooling: Type of school at which adults finished school (e.g. whether private school or not; whether Jewish school or not); type of school children currently attend; attitudes to Jewish vs. non-Jewish schools; perceived quality of Jewish education at schools; attitudes to the role of formal Jewish education. ¾ Emigrated but returned: Proportion who emigrated and returned and underlying reasons for each of these actions; which country they emigrated to; who – demographically speaking – are the returnees? ¾ Likelihood

  • Free Mover Clinical Clerkships
    FREE MOVER CLINICAL CLERKSHIPS Students interested in spending a clerkship activity abroad without participating in the Erasmus+ programs can enroll as Free-Movers (Fee-paying Visiting Students or Independent Students or Contract Students) at some foreign University hospitals where they can attend clinical rotations. The Free-Mover Clinical Clerkship Period is an optional part of the medical course and as such must be accounted for. Students not willing to participate still have to attend clinical rotations at the University of Milan. The Clerkship abroad represents a mutual contract between Supervisor and Student and is subject to supervision by the Faculty. In this document, there is the list of possible destinations and university hospitals in which the clinical clerkship period can be performed. For some of the destinations, students are advised to clearly declare their student status, as they may be allowed to participate only as observers and not and interns. 1 AFRICA Egypt Ethiopia Benin Botswana IvoryCoast Ghana Cameroon Kenya Libya Morocco Namibia Nigeria Rwanda Zambia Senegal Sudan SouthAfrica Tanzania Tunisia Uganda Zimbabwe ASIA China India Indonesia Japan Cambodia Malaysia Mongolia Nepal Philippines Singapore SriLanka SouthKorea Taiwan Thailand Vietnam 2 THE MIDDLE EAST Bahrain Iran Israel Jordan Qatar Lebanon Oman Palestine SaudiArabia Syria United Arab Emirates OCEANIA Australia Adelaide Canberra Melbourne Newcastle NewSouthWales Perth Queensland Sydney Tasmania New Zealand EUROPE Belgium Bosnia-Herzigowina Bulgaria Denmark

    2014 – 2015 SERVICE DELIVERY AND BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan for the City of Cape Town 2014/2015 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR We have undertaken an ambitious programme of governance in the city. That programme has been to turn the five pillars into a development programme until 2016. Those pillars are: the opportunity city; the safe city; the caring city; the inclusive city; and the well-run city. I think we have achieved a great deal. The IDP maps out our goals, plans and ambitions for the remainder of this term, which is already well under way. I believe that we have achieved something quite unique in local government in South Africa and what national legislation actually intended: the complete alignment of democratic will into a programme of government. But having put in place this great plan, we need to know that it is working. We need to see the outcomes that we are delivering to the people, for their own benefit and for our own progress reports. These outcomes must be assessed by a monitoring and evaluation framework that can help flag our priority areas and provide baselines and targets against which we measure our performance. That means having a scorecard that we can monitor, a scorecard that becomes the living document of delivery. We do operate with certain realities. The Auditor- General requires strict monitoring of things that are measurable in order to determine compliance and sound government. We support those principles but in as much as we satisfy the Auditor General, we must satisfy our own purposes too.

  • I Cataloguing Practices from Creation To
    Cataloguing practices from creation to use: A study of Cape Town Metropolitan Public Libraries in Western Cape Province, South Africa by Madireng Jane Monyela Student number: 215081797 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Information Studies) in the School of Social Sciences, College of Humanities, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Supervisor: Prof. Stephen Mutula ---------------------------------------------- June, 2019 i Abstract Cataloguing is the process of creating metadata representing information sources such as books, sound recordings, digital video disks (DVDs), journals and other materials found in a library or group of libraries. This process requires the use of standardised cataloguing tools to achieve the bibliographic description, authority control, subject analysis and assignment of classification notation to generate a library catalogue. The well-generated library catalogue serves as an index of a collection of information sources found in libraries that enables the library users to discover which information sources are available and where they are in the library. Such a catalogue should provide information such as the creators’ names, titles, subject terms, standard number, publication area, physical description and notes that describe those information sources to facilitate easy information retrieval. This study sought to investigate cataloguing practices from creation to use in Cape Town Metropolitan public libraries in South Africa with the aim

SOCCER AND FOOD FAIR What a wonderful time we all shared at our very memorable Soccer and Food Fair! The Cape Winter day was perfect, the vibe was upbeat and everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion. We are indeed fortunate to have such supportive and enthusiastic families at Bergvliet Primary School.

The final draw on Saturday, 29 May, for the two “top” prizes of original 2010 Soccer World Cup gear, resulted in an exciting win for Iptishaam Majiet (Gr 3A) and Aidan Katzef (Gr 7H). Prizes were also awarded to Leigh-Marie Adriaans (Gr 3M) and Russell-James Hyde (Gr 4H) who each filled four yellow cards, and Daniel Goliath (Gr 7W) who filled three cards. For those who still wish to purchase vuvuzelas (R30,00), fun soccer helmets and the 2010 Soccer World Cup revolving nightlights (R200), these will be available for purchase at the School Office from MONDAY, 07 JUNE until WEDNESDAY, 09 JUNE 2010 ONLY.
