  • ISRAEL 15 Study Visit What Will It Take to Leap Israel's Social and Economic Performance? Mon-Thu, June 8 – June 11, 2009
    1 March 2009 ISRAEL 15 Study Visit What Will It Take to Leap Israel's Social and Economic Performance? Mon-Thu, June 8 – June 11, 2009 The ISRAEL 15 Vision The ISRAEL 15 Vision aims to place Israel among the fifteen leading countries in terms of quality of life. This vision requires a 'leapfrog' from our present state of development i.e. a significant and continuous improvement in Israel's social and economic performance in comparison to other countries. Our Study Visit will focus on this vision and challenge. The ISRAEL 15 Agenda and Strategy There is no recipe for leapfrogging; it is the result of a virtuous alignment in economic policy, powerful global trends and national leadership. Few countries have leapt including Ireland, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Chile, and Israel (between the 50s- 70s). The common denominator among these countries has been their agenda. They focused on: developing a rich and textured vision; exhausting engines of growth; tapping into unique advantages; improving the capacity for taking decisions and implementing them; benchmarking with other countries; and turning development and growth into a national obsession. Furthermore, leapfrogging requires a top-down process driven by the government, as well as a bottom-up mobilization of the key sectors of society such as mayors and municipal governments, business leaders, nonprofits, philanthropists, career public servants and, in Israel's case, also the world Jewry. The Study Visit will explore this agenda as it applies to Israel. The Second ISRAEL 15 Conference; Monday, June 8, 2009 The Second ISRAEL 15 Conference titled: "Effectuating the Vision Now!" will be held on Monday, June 8th.

  • Jnf Blueprint Negev: 2009 Campaign Update
    JNF BLUEPRINT NEGEV: 2009 CAMPAIGN UPDATE In the few years since its launch, great strides have been made in JNF’s Blueprint Negev campaign, an initiative to develop the Negev Desert in a sustainable manner and make it home to the next generation of Israel’s residents. In Be’er Sheva: More than $30 million has already been invested in a city that dates back to the time of Abraham. For years Be’er Sheva was an economically depressed and forgotten city. Enough of a difference has been made to date that private developers have taken notice and begun to invest their own money. New apartment buildings have risen, with terraces facing the riverbed that in the past would have looked away. A slew of single family homes have sprung up, and more are planned. Attracted by the River Walk, the biggest mall in Israel and the first “green” one in the country is Be’er Sheva River Park being built by The Lahav Group, a private enterprise, and will contribute to the city’s communal life and all segments of the population. The old Turkish city is undergoing a renaissance, with gaslights flanking the refurbished cobblestone streets and new restaurants, galleries and stores opening. This year, the municipality of Be’er Sheva is investing millions of dollars to renovate the Old City streets and support weekly cultural events and activities. And the Israeli government just announced nearly $40 million to the River Park over the next seven years. Serious headway has been made on the 1,700-acre Be’er Sheva River Park, a central park and waterfront district that is already transforming the city.

  • Israel: Birds, History & Culture in the Holy Land
    ISRAEL: BIRDS, HISTORY & CULTURE IN THE HOLY LAND NOVEMBER 4–16, 2020 ©2019 Eurasian Cranes, Hula Valley, Israel © Jonathan Meyrav Perched on the far edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Israel exists as a modern and safe travel destination brimming with history, culture, and nature. Positioned at the interface of three continents—Europe, Asia, and Africa—Israel sits at a geographic crossroads that has attracted both people and birds since time immemorial. From the age of the Old Testament to the present, the history of this ancient land, this Holy Land, is inscribed in the sands that blow across its fabled deserts. We are thrilled to present our multi-dimensional tour to Israel: a Birds, History & Culture trip that visits many of the country’s most important birding areas, geographical locations, and historical attractions. Our trip is timed for the end of fall migration and the onset of the winter season. Superb birding is virtually guaranteed, and we anticipate encounters with a wonderful variety of birds including year-round residents, passage migrants, and an array of African, Asian, and Mediterranean species at the edges of their range. Israel, Page 2 From the capital city of Tel Aviv, we’ll travel north along the coast to Ma’agan Michael and the Hula Valley to witness the spectacular seasonal gathering of 40,000 Common Cranes and hundreds of birds of prey including eagles, buzzards, harriers, falcons, and kites, in addition to a variety of other birds. We’ll then head to the Golan Heights, to Mount Hermon and the canyon at Gamla, home to Eurasian Griffon, Bonelli’s Eagle, Syrian Woodpecker, Blue Rock- Thrush, and Hawfinch.
