The Alternative Israel Prize – Top Ten
The newspaper “Makor Rishon”, a religious Zionist publication, has selected 10 Israeli candidates for the “Alternative Israeli Award.” One of these is Dr Reuven Gal, chosen for his Social Contribution.
“We chose people. Not slogans. Because we believe that for a better country, we need good people, those you can follow and learn from”.
Regarding Reuven Gal: “In his current position as head of the ‘Ultra-Orthodox Integration Project’, in the Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy at the Technion, Gal focuses on the possibilities of Ultra-Orthodox integration into the employment market, and in proactive delivery of information on this topic to policy makers. Previously the founder and first director of the National Civic Service in the Prime Minister’s Office, Gal managed to double the number of military exempt Haredim and Arabs participating in the National Civic Service.
The school behind Israel’s tech evolution
Since it opened in 1923, Technion has been a generator of innovation.
Let’s talk about it on “equal burden”
The Subject of “equal burden” follows the State of Israel since its establishment, and last year, following events such as: Elimination of “Tal Law” by the Supreme Court in early 2012, establishment of the Committee for promoting integration and equality in the burden (“Plesner Committee”) and the raising of the issue on public agenda by parties as “Yesh Atid”, “HaBayit Hayehudi” and “Kadima “- it’s taking up a large part of the public discourse.
On this burning subject, will focus the program “Let’s Talk About It” that will be broadcast on April 10, 2013, from 9:00 p.m. to 23:00, on Reshet Bet of Kol Israel.
Read more about what’s going to be broadcast, and the participants in the panel. The talk show will be led by Michael Miro, CEO of Kol Israel.
The Technion: Israel’s Hard Drive
When the Technion class of 1957 graduated, its members got together and wrote a letter of complaint to their prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, who was otherwise busy building a nation. “There were no jobs for us in our fields,” recalls Gideon F. Inbar, an electrical engineer who is now 79. “My wife kept saying, ‘Oy, things are grim, grim, grim.’ ”
Cultural sensitivity -The key to Ultra-Orthodox integration in the Academy
If the leaders of higher education want to enable quality and academic excellence to the entire society and avoid creating various classes, they must find a way to integrate the Haredi students, which are an integral part of the future generation of the academy, within colleges and universities, while showing cultural sensitivity that matches their worldview and way of life of the Haredi community.
Expert: Utilize new-found gas , don’t export it
Israel’s natural gas discoveries are expected to add a full percentage point to its GDP growth in 2013, but is its use being misdirected? Philanthropist, energy expert and chairman of the Israeli Institute for Economic Planning Yossie Hollander, thinks so.
You can export the gas to China – but that is stealing $250 billion from the public
Chairman of the Israeli Institute for Economic Planning, Yossi Hollander, said at the Herzliya Conference gas panel that restricting gas exports will reduce its price by half.
“Dr. Gilead Fortuna, a Senior Research Fellow at Samuel Neaman Institute said that as we received the gas from Egypt, we did not accelerate our internal production and therefore became dependent. Israel must produce NG substitutes for the local industries and transportation and later invest in new downstream products for export, which will grow the local industries and contribution to the economy.
Who keeps the women away from high – tech? “We would be pleased to receive CVs from women – but we just do not”
Tsipy Buchnik, Daphne Getz, Ilia Zatcovetsky, Dan Peled
Women in high-tech raise money more easily, contribute to the success of the companies, and work more efficiently ■ If so, why only one of every five researchers and developers in Israel and 3% of Silicon Valley executives are women?
Work is their artistry
The hottest topic right now is equal rights and duties (or “equality in the burden”) and the call for Ultra-Orthodox integration in the labor market. But research and facts show that in the last few years more and more Ultra-Orthodox joined the military service and took jobs ● A new research, published by Samuel Neaman Institute, presents disturbing data: Non-observant and modern-Orthodox employers are reluctant to employ Ultra-Orthodox workers ● Hanan Greenwood
