		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few days we have spent a lot of time visiting programs dedicated to the advancement of the Ethiopian community in Israeli society, funded in part by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. As with any immigrant community, the integration process is not an easy one. The radical culture shock of coming from rural [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week Israel has been eventful from start to finish, and filled with interesting tours and meetings. Some highlights not related to our program include 6:00 a.m. wakeups and my subsequent burgeoning addiction to caffeine. We have seen thriving young communities and mission-driven organizations from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, from Ben Shemen to Acco. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The achievements of those living in the Negev, Israel’s largely vacant southern desert region, are very impressive. These people are successfully pursuing the early Zionist aspiration of making the desert bloom. On the drive north from Eilat, we passed through awe-inspiring mountains near the Egyptian border, stretches of desert that seemingly extended to eternity, and [...]]]></description>

When we think of Sderot, often we think of the constant fear of kassam rockets, the seven years of insecurity, and the economic devastation it has caused the city. There is a lot of hardship in Sderot and as outsiders we try and ask ourselves what we can do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Moses to Abraham Lincoln the quality that every leader must possess is the ability to make his vision one that is shared by the masses. Brilliant ideas, penetrating analysis, and undefeatable determination are all important, but if you cannot make your goals the same as the goals of the population you cannot be successful.

		<description><![CDATA[Adam Winer – 2nd blog entry
On Thursday we traveled from Jerusalem all the way down to Israel’s southernmost tip, where the scenic and resilient city of Eilat is located. The first thing that struck me about the city, upon looking out of my hotel room balcony, is how close it is in proximity to other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The past few days have been rife with emotion here in Israel. The prisoner exchange, in which Israel released numerous prisoners including the infamous terrorist Samir Kuntar in return for the bodies of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, missing since June 2006, was completed yesterday.
