harry & sylvia’s support for hebrew university in jerusalem is long standing and culminated in 2007 with an agreement to establish the harry and sylvia hoffman leadership program. displaying leadership through many facets of his 50 year business career, harry has recently helped instigate a leadership program for the hebrew university to administer, with the stated aim of producing a future crop of israeli leaders for jewish society to look up to and be proud of. this program supports 36 students in their post - graduate research complemented by an active program to enhance the leadership skills of the participants. harry & sylvia were recipients of honorary fellowships of the hebrew university of jerusalem in 2007 .
the jerusalem program was adopted in 1951 at the 23rd world zionist congress and revised by the 27th zionist congress in 1968. it was most recently revised at the meeting of the zionist general council in june 2004 .
jerusalem program participants are housed in dormitories on the hebrew university’s mount scopus campus, a five - minute walk from university classrooms and a short cab ride from the city center, with its myriad restaurants and shops. students typically live in single rooms within five - person suites. the suites contain full kitchens, where participants can prepare their own meals. a graduate program assistant from chicago and an israeli university student also reside in the dorm and provide program support .
the jerusalem program is operated in cooperation with the rothberg international school at the hebrew university—israel’s first and top - ranking university—and participants have access to the resources and activities on its mount scopus campus, where they live and study .

previous program participants report spending in the range of $ 200 to $ 250 per week on meals and incidentals while on the program, though frugal students may spend less, and others could spend much more. bear in mind that the cost of living in jerusalem is roughly similar to chicago, and while it is possible to live frugally, it is also possible to run short of money if you are unwary. it is therefore essential that you budget your funds prudently, apportioning your resources so that they last for the duration of the program. if you are planning to travel before or after the program or on weekends, you should budget accordingly .

i am very proud to be associated with the hebrew university in jerusalem and to have this honor bestowed upon me .
the program is designed for undergraduates in good academic standing who are beyond their first year in the college. while the program stipulates no minimum grade - point average, an applicant’s transcript should demonstrate that they are a serious student who will make the most of this opportunity. because the civilization sequence is taught in english, there is no language prerequisite, although students are encouraged to take modern hebrew or modern standard arabic campus before the program begins .
additionally, my admiration goes out to those students who will become eligible to be selected to participate within the leadership program .

the university of chicago’s spring quarter jerusalem program provides university of chicago students with an opportunity to study middle eastern civilizations in one of the world’s most fascinating cities. jerusalem brings alive the ancient and modern expressions of the three major western religious traditions—judaism, christianity and islam—whose adherents have long struggled to coexist within the city’s rugged limestone walls. the three - course civilization sequence presents a historical survey of the sacred city and its topographies of monotheism. classroom work is supplemented by weekly excursions to sites of historical interest both within jerusalem and elsewhere in israel. participants also take a fourth course in modern hebrew or arabic language at the appropriate level .
jerusalem is one of the most fascinating cities in the world, mixing ancient and modern, holy and secular. walk the stone streets of the old city or the lively thoroughfares of modern jerusalem and you’ll witness the diversity of the human experience. the capital of israel, jerusalem enjoys not just an abundant collection of historical and holy sites but also museums, theaters, restaurants, cafes and lively arts venues – as well as israel’s parliament, the knesset. east jerusalem, which israel annexed following the 1967 war, is what palestinians view as the capital of their future state. students will have opportunities to visit various parts of the city, meet community leaders and conduct interviews that will shed light on jerusalem’s complexity and its place at the heart of the conflict .

participants in the jerusalem program remain registered as full - time students in the college. they take and receive credit for four courses: the three courses in the civilization sequence and the modern hebrew or modern standard arabic language course. the civilization sequence meets the college’s civilization requirement. if a student has already met this requirement, he or she may use these courses as electives. their use, partial or total, in a program of study (major) must be approved by the undergraduate chair of the student’s respective major. the language course will normally count as an elective. neither the modern hebrew nor the modern standard arabic course in jerusalem is keyed to chicago’s modern hebrew or modern standard arabic language sequences. course titles, units of credit and grades are placed on the college transcript .

jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, settled more than 5, 000 years ago, according to ancient history encyclopedia. the city is holy to three of the world’s major religions: judaism, christianity and islam. jerusalem is a crossroads between east and west, and it’s a place where people from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds interact, intersect and sometimes collide. as a focal point of the israeli - palestinian conflict, jerusalem is also a major center for reporting on the middle east, and many international news organizations maintain bureaus here. students will learn international reporting techniques from veteran journalists and then work as foreign correspondents themselves, publishing their work on a multimedia website .
jerusalem farm is a community of volunteers inspired by the gospels, focused on prayer, community, simplicity and service. we are devoted to developing relationships and eliminating sub - standard housing through home repair in north - east kansas city .
6. jerusalem farm expects the approved applicant' s family to help with construction and repair of the home if possible. we exist to help people help themselves, and feel the best way to do this is by working together .
while the program of study is founded on a number of fixed elements, many of its components are developed on a more flexible basis over the course of the year, in line with the particular traits, needs, and interests of each of the fellows. the scope of the program, its content, and its special character enable the fellows to conduct an in - depth process in which they clarify their worldview and personal - professional identity, clarify the educational goals they would like to attain, in all their complexity, and translate these ideas into a plan of action .
students will live and learn at hebrew university of jerusalem, a modern campus on mount scopus. hebrew university of jerusalem was founded in 1925, two decades before the founding of the state of israel, and it currently has about 23, 000 students. during the summer, students from around the world come here to study hebrew and arabic language, archaeology, middle east studies, jewish studies and islamic studies. ieimedia students will have the opportunity to mingle with israeli and international students .
after completing the program, the fellows return to the field of practice, and most of them enter key positions in the education system and in the public sector. the school’s placement process helps fellows explore different possible directions via which each and every fellow can make the largest possible contribution to israeli society .
because of the considerable demand for the chicago civilization programs abroad, no student may participate in more than one of these programs. each application is examined on the basis of the student’s scholastic record, personal statement and academic recommendation. if you are interested in applying for this program please fill out the online application .
the program is open to english - speaking college students and recent graduates from any university. over the past decade, participants in ieimedia programs have included more than 800 students from 80 u. s. and canadian campuses, along with students from japan, peru, singapore, thailand, trinidad, turkey and the united kingdom .
following a festive opening in which the representatives were expected to arrive in formal dress, tails and white tie, the congress got down to the business at hand. the main items on the agenda were the presentation of herzl' s plans, the establishment of the world zionist organization and the declaration of zionism' s goals - the basel program .
students will have two - day weekends (fridays and saturdays) and one three - day weekend (friday - sunday) to explore the city or to travel around israel. cities such as tel aviv, haifa, nazareth and bethlehem are all accessible by bus. those who want to tour extensively should plan travel time before or after the program .
the 5, 000 year history of the ancient city of jerusalem is layered with the remains of settlements and conquests by many different peoples and cultures, including the early canaanites, assyrians, persians, hellenistic kingdoms, the islamic dynasties, the ottomans, the british and the current palestinian and israeli presence .
that the palestinians in jerusalem, the west bank and gaza, especially refugees and others living in poverty, are empowered to: provide for the basic needs of their people; challenge policies that perpetuate injustice and suffering; build a just society united in diversity; and claim their rights to life and livelihood .
a most interesting program. no - one is surprised surely that the archaeology of the land where the modern jerusalem is situated is likely to be as contested as the city space itself. unfortunately archaeology is full of episodes where people have claimed corroboration of ancient texts in what they have found in excavations, going back to schliemann in
troy
and mycenae. this does no justice to scholarly analysis of the texts in questions, let alone to the modern science of archaeology. the texts of the bible have no more or less claim to historical truth than homer. drawing a line from evidence found in archaeological excavations to ancient texts is fanciful. it certainly has nothing to do with contemporary claims to land titles .

in the words of ori kam, violist with the jerusalem quartet: “we selected these three magnificent pieces, written within a span of 120 years (1810, 1895, and 1931) because they each utilize the string quartet as a singular instrument, and in the most varied and imaginative ways possible to achieve a composition with immense emotional range. ”
israeli archaeologist, yonathan mizrachi, has characterised the different israeli archaeological projects in east jerusalem as being ‘weapons of dispossession’ whereby archaeological digs are part of a concerted campaign to expel palestinians from their ancestral lands. he claims that elad also makes decisions about the way the site is presented and the interpretation of archaeological evidence. critics have described this process as ‘heritage manufacturing’ .

the mandel school for educational leadership offers a unique program of study in the field of leadership development, which aims to broaden and deepen the fellows’ knowledge and their capacity to contribute to israeli education. the educational environment at the school is characterized by a plurality of professional and theoretical fields of knowledge and of cultural diversity. this environment allows fellows to acknowledge the multiple cultures and identities present in israeli society, to become familiar with different perspectives and areas of knowledge, to move freely between different ways of seeing and understanding reality, and to use these different perspectives to examine complex situations. the school sees this diversity as a necessary resource for learning and for honing a personal - professional identity that is autonomous, conscious, and critical. additional factors that enable this unique learning process include the composition of the school’s fellow cohorts and faculty, the structure of the program of study, the content of the courses taught, and the nature of the fellows’ learning products .
yinam leef (born in jerusalem in 1953) is one of the most prominent and active composers in israel today. he grew up in a cultural melting pot, where east meets west, old and new coexist. he studied piano and violin and his childhood musical influences include classical music, jazz, and the unique mixture of jewish prayers, the chant of the moazzin and the old city’s church bells .
much of the archaeology is paired with biblical stories relating to the small period of time when israelites held power in jerusalem. this is particularly evident in the controversial ‘city of david’ excavation and tourist park, which claims to have found evidence of king david’s palace in an area where the ruins of the earliest settlement of the city occurred. the ongoing archaeological dig here is now coordinated by elad, a private israeli nationalist and religions settlement group. they have also been involved in evicting
for the duration of the two - year program the fellows receive a monthly living stipend that allows them to dedicate themselves fully to the learning process. this process includes clarifying their personal and professional identity; in - depth theoretical study; exposure to new areas of knowledge; deepening their understanding of the complexity of the field of education; planning an educational initiative; and creating a meaningful personal and professional network. the educational approach of the school was articulated by the late prof. shlomo (seymour) fox ​​ and the founding team, and is described in prof. fox’s speech ​​ inaugurating the first academic year at the school .

(included in the package) .
• international reporting – students will learn how to develop sources, conduct interviews and work with an interpreter, then report on the city around them, publishing their work on a professional - quality website. teaching the course will be a team of veteran journalists who have covered the middle east for years. our faculty includes ilene prusher, a former foreign correspondent with extensive experience covering the israeli - palestinian conflict as well as iraq and afghanistan; linda gradstein, a longtime national public radio correspondent in jerusalem; and ricki rosen, a news and feature photographer whose photos have appeared in time magazine and the new york times in her more than 25 years in the region .
now the abc has earshot wherein the producers are setting out to provide the audience with a fake revision of history. we must now pretend that the jews have little to do with the the history of the land of israel. what utter codswallop! the jews were the dispossessed - the jews were not expelled from slavery in egypt, - it was the palestinians, not the palestinian arabs. kings david, solomon, & saul, the sanhedrin, the macabees, jesus - they were not jews, they were arabs - palestinian arabs. masada was a palestinian refugee camp. the qumran dead sea scrolls was actually the palestinian islamist manifesto now adopted by hamas, the jews in exile never said
next year in jerusalem
as part of the seder because their temple holy of holies was there - no it was an act purely to trick the noble palestinian people .
it is disingenuous in the extreme to imply that a connection of jews with the land of israel is based on a book of fiction (the bible) rather than archeological evidence. this is nothing more than another bald attempt at delegitimisation of jews and israel. if picot wants to ignore the dead sea scrolls, the works of josephus, the hebrew insecriptions all over the land, let ignorance reign on this website. but megiddo, beth shean, tell el - ful, and tell beit mirsim, and samaria and tell el - farah (south) and tell el - ajjul, at lachish and jericho reveal a different story. what of the neo - assyrian inscriptions of the ninth to seventh centuries b. c. e. mentioning israelite and judaean kings, notably the black obelisk showing the assyrian ruler shalmaneser iii with the israelite king jehu bowing down in front of him; and the siloam tunnel inscription of the eighth century b. c. e. referring to the creation of the water system of jerusalem under the judaean king hezekiah (recent thorium - uranium procedures on the plaster of the tunnel has confirmed the dating of the inscription independently) and tell dan stele of the ninth century b. c. e. that refers to the dynasty of the
house of david
; and at tell miqne royal dedicatory inscription dating from the second quarter of the seventh century b. c. e. , which refers to two kings of ekron who are also attested in the neo - assyrian annals? - what of this archeological evidence? the transparent bigotry of the
progressives
who inhabit this website is a yawning chasm of emptiness .
the first zionist congress was called by theodor herzl as a symbolic parliament for those in sympathy with the implementation of zionist goals. herzl had planned to hold the gathering in munich, but due to local jewish opposition he transferred the gathering to basel, switzerland. the congress took place in the concert hall of the basel municipal casino on august 29, 1897 .
there is some dispute as to the exact number of participants at this first zionist congress, however, the approximate figure is 200 people from seventeen countries, sixty - nine of whom were delegates from various zionist societies and the remainder individual invitees. in attendance were also ten non­jews who were expected to abstain from voting. seventeen women attended the congress, some of them in their own capacity and others who accompanied representatives. while women participated in the first zionist congress, they did not have voting rights. full membership rights were accorded them the following year, at the second zionist congress .
in the version submitted to the congress on the second day of its deliberations (august 30) by a committee under the chairmanship of max nordau, it was stated :
the aim of zionism is to create for the jewish people a home in eretz­israel secured by law .
zionism seeks to establish a home for the jewish people in eretz­israel secured under public law. the congress contemplates the following means to the attainment of this end :
1. the promotion by appropriate means of the settlement in eretz - israel of jewish farmers, artisans, and manufacturers. 2. the organization and uniting of the whole of jewry by means of appropriate institutions, both local and international, in accordance with the laws of each country. 3. the strengthening and fostering of jewish national sentiment and national consciousness. 4. preparatory steps toward obtaining the consent of governments, where necessary, in order to reach the goals of zionism .
at the congress, herzl was elected president of the zionist organization and max nordau one of three vice - presidents. thereafter, the zionist congress met every year (1897­1901), then every second year (1903 - 1913, 1921 - 1939). since world war ii, meetings have been held approximately every four years .

harry hoffman oam was born in 1929 in dubove, czechoslovakia. he and his family were taken to auschwitz in may 1944 where he lost his mother and two sisters .
harry migrated to australia in 1949 and through hard work and persistence, quickly learned english and developed a career in real estate. he also met sylvia frochter. harry & sylvia were married in 1953. they have two children susan and alex and one grandson, joshua .
in 1957, harry & sylvia established ardross real estate which was the foundation of what was to become the ardross group .
the ardross group has constructed and / or owned commercial, industrial and residential properties. its specialty is land development, with numerous property developments around perth and currently focused on the regional locations of albany, manjimup, bunbury and jurien bay .
the groups landmark project is the 60km 2 turquoise coast project at jurien bay, 230km north of perth. the project focuses on developing jurien bay as a major tourism destination and as the regional centre for the turquoise coast. this will be accelerated by the completion of the indian ocean drive, which reduces the travel time from perth to jurien bay to just over two hours .
harry hoffman is a survivor, not only from the holocaust, but also from the rigors' of an active business life as a property developer during the typical “boom” and “bust” economic cycles associated with western australia’s recent history .
aided by his wife sylvia, he has continued to over that time employ a “hands - on” approach to the management of his group’s operations, which has traditionally contained a significant bank of land that could be brought onto the market at the most appropriate time .
harry was awarded an oam in 2000 for his philanthropy to community groups and educational institutions. he was awarded a centenary medal in 2003 .
harry has been active in a number of organisations, supporting jewish causes and is a life member of the carmel school, life governor of the united israel appeal and chairman since 2001 of the korsunski charitable trust. harry & sylvia support many philanthropic causes. the most significant of these is the carmel school. in 2009, carmel school was renamed the h & s hoffman and g korsunski carmel school .
harry and sylvia also provide support to the western australian symphony orchestra, property education foundation, united israel appeal and leadership western australia, amongst others .
on the occasion of his 80 th birthday carmel school launched a book on the life of harry hoffman, written by christina dullard oam “hate never sat at my table”. in her words “harrys' story is a tale of resilience in the face of adversity; a story of robust optimism, opportunity and exhilarating success, despite diverse and significant challenges which few of us have ever faced; an inspiring story of a remarkable life and partnership which exemplifies yishar koach (from strength to strength) ” .
his support for the state of israel and educational causes appears limitless, valuing highly a complete jewish education that he himself was forced to forego .
harry received an honorary doctorate from the hebrew university in the spring of 2012 .
since arriving in australia and establishing what has ultimately become a successful business, i have personally strived to contribute as much as i can to society and behave as a model citizen, adhering to learning’s i derived from my early childhood jewish education .
this background has helped inspire me to seek the continuation of excellence in jewish education, both in israel and in my adopted home, australia .
i look forward to continuing a close relationship with the hebrew university in the many years to come .
- harry hoffman oam
born and bred in perth, western australia, sylvia after marrying her husband harry responded to the challenge of helping to manage a rapidly expanding business, whilst bearing children and raising a family, without the luxury of extended family support .
whilst fulfilling an important administrative role within the business entity, sylvia always endeavored to balance the responsibilities of business and family .
described by others as being extremely pragmatic, sylvia provided much needed stability to the family and business during times when economic circumstances dictated that tight reins be held on spending .
after retiring from active service in the ardross group during the mid - 1990s, sylvia has continued to support various charitable causes both in australia and israel .
i feel privileged and really honored to be recognized with an honorary fellowship .
i’m also extremely pleased that the contribution harry and i have been able to commit to the hebrew university, will assist israel in its development of future leaders .
