Israel Tour Report
Israel Tour Report The Shimada Sonjuku visited Israel for July 12 to July 19, as part of its program of visiting foreign countries and areas which we usually do not have much opportunities but highly valuable to study and learn from them to acquaint ourselves with the heterogeneity of the world. We have been discussing for the last several months as to where to visit, and after discussions, the majority of Sonjuku members opted to visit Israel, and we decided to visit Israel. Out of 17 students of the Juku, three of them were unable to join. Thus 14 students, 2 observers and myself went on the trip. The itinerary of the trip was as follows: July 12: Leave Tokyo in the morning by Turkish Airlines Arrive Tel-Aviv via Istanbul in midnight check in West Boutique Hotel Tel Aviv July 13: Visit the site of Atlit detainee camp Visit the park of Bahai temple in Haifa Visit the historical remains of Akko July 14: Tour to Jerusalem Visit of Yad Vashem Walking old town of Jerusalem Visit of Church of the Holy Sepulchre Visit of Wailing Wall Enjoy dinner at the Bedouin tent July 15: Visit of Masada fortress Enjoy Dead Sea July 16: Discussion forum at COMAS, Tel Aviv Visit of Jaﬀa July 17: Visit of Chaim Weizmann Institute Visit of Tel Aviv diamond exchange July 18-19: Return to Japan -1- All of us enjoyed this trip fully and learned a great deal. This experience must remain in the minds of Sonjuku members as precious hints for them to think and determine something important to do their global business in the future.

Ruth King Page 14 1 Anarchy at Turtle Bay William Mehlman Barring a zero-hour capitulation by Israel to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ insistence on the 1949 Arab-Israeli armistice lines and a renewed halt to Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria as starting points for revived “peace” negotiations , the UN General Assembly may have overwhelmingly approved the PA’s bid for recognition of Palestine as the world body’s 194th member by the time you read these words. The spectacle of a rump entity, dependent on Western charity and Israeli protection from its terrorist partner, demanding the status of a sovereign nation might have furnished the plot-line for a comic opera, were it not for its potential for further inflaming a Middle East plagued by an Islamist- bent “Arab Spring” and a growing Turkish appetite for a fight with Israel. As things stand, we’ll have to settle for another fun-filled episode of “Barack Obama’s Chickens Coming Home to Roost.” Lest we may have forgotten as we watched the President’s surrogates scurrying between Ramallah and Jerusalem in a last-ditch effort to head off a General Assembly decision he will be forced to veto in deference to his reelection chances, it was Mr.

I am the son of a refugee who escaped from Nazi Germany in 1940 on his way to build new life in Palestine. We, in Israel, know very well what it means to be a refugee, to live in camps, to be oppressed, abused and killed by the millions. The secret is education. More education means a better world, a world with less violence.

Israel Independence 2008 Seite 1 von 7 HOME ARCHIVES LEGALS CONTACT DIRECTORIES EVENTS KOSHER SUBSCRIBE SPECIALS May 9, 2008 ~ Israel Independence Table of Contents When Israel won independence, Denver's Rafael Klebe helped make it happen When Israel won independence, Denver's Rafael Klebe helped make it happen By CHRIS LEPPEK IJN Assistant Editor In 1948, someone took a picture of a small group of men and women gathered around a table at Kibbutz Be’erot Yitzchak, a religious kibbutz slightly over three kilometers from Gaza. On Jan. 21, 2008, in preparation for Israel’s 60th anniversary, the Israeli daily Yediot Achronot reprinted the photograph and invited anyone who knew the identities of the subjects to contact the paper. “A chaver (friend and comrade) sent me the photo,” says Rafael Klebe, 87, looking at a reproduced image in his Heather Gardens apartment. “I saw myself immediately. “I didn’t know they were taking a picture at the time,” he adds, pointing to the tall dark-haired young man at the far left side of the table. “Yes, that’s me.” When the UN declared Israel’s statehood on May 14, 1948, Be’erot Yitzchak was instantly bombarded with Egyptian firepower. “I heard about the UN vote in the ditches, digging fortifications around the bunkers,” says Mr. Klebe, who was 27 at the time. “We were working, working, working, day and night.” The bombings continued for four weeks. Ten days after a shaky truce was established, the Egyptians resumed their bombardment with even fiercer intensity. “Believe me, I’m not giving you a story to make something big out of Be’erot Yitzchak,” says Mr.

Tribute to Holocaust Survivors
THE CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR YAD VASHEM IN AFFILIATION WITH THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT PRESENTS THE ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL: JEWISH RESISTANCE DURING THE HOLOCAUST TORONTO, QUEEN’S PARK WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2019 12:00 PM Fran Sonshine Ester Driham NATIONAL CHAIR NATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR May 1, 2019 “ Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.” – Elie Wiesel The Canadian Society for Yad Vashem (CSYV) is privileged to collaborate with the Government of Ontario to present the annual Tribute to Holocaust Survivors. This year’s theme is Struggle for Survival: Jewish Resistance during the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, the Nazis sought to annihilate the Jews not only physically, but to erase all traces of our culture and religion. The honourees that we recognize today aptly represent this year’s theme. We pay tribute to: Dr. Renate Krakauer, Eva Meisels, Aaron Nussbaum, Lilia (Zilberblat) Tsareva, and Lenka (Helena) Weksberg. Each of them showed great courage in the face of horrific circumstances. Their families joining us today are a testament to their resilience, perseverance, and love. Holocaust education becomes more urgent as significant numbers of Canadians are losing the memory of the Holocaust. A study conducted by the Claims Conference and the Azrieli Foundation released in January 2019 concluded that many Canadians do not know the basic facts of the Holocaust, with Millennials (age 18 -34) being particularly uniformed. It is incumbent on each of us to educate ourselves about the Holocaust so that we may contribute to a positive and tolerant climate in Ontario and throughout Canada.
