WHEN: NOW
ACTIVITY: SOME URL'S TO GIVE US UPDATES ON ISRAEL
          (Thanks to Andrea)

Some URLs with english language on-line news from israel-
has more up todate 'breaking news' than we're getting her
from our Australian sites (eg The Age/ ABC).

The two main ones, both in English and also with 'breaking news headlines' are
Haaretz- www.haaretz.com
Jerusalem Post- www.jpost.com  

There is also one called- web.israelinsider.com/home.htm but
I'm not sure if I've got it right / what it is as I haven't been
able to get it open.

Finally there is JTA- which is US based www.jta.org/


Personally I'm sticking to the first two. Also I think I've
worked out Israel is 7hrs behind us- helps when looking
at the time on the new headlines.

 MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU ..... 
Zionist Federation of Australia Ltd

FW: Solidarity Mission - Personal Invitation - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO YOUR DATABASES
Dear Friend

You have recently been sent a memo from the World Zionist Organisation advising you of a solidarity mission from around the world to Israel from August 7th -9th. 
Please regard this as a personal invitation to you or anyone else who you believe would be interested.
Until 25th June, when Gilad Shalit was kidnapped, Israel was enjoying one of those only too brief periods of relative calm.  Industry was getting back on its feet; much needed infrastructure was being built at a rapid pace and tourism was at last booming.
With the necessary call up of reserves and the need to be on a war footing in the far north and around Gaza, Israel is once again battling on a number of fronts.  Not just militarily, but also to keep its economy afloat and everyday life running in some normal form.  The resilience of the Israelis is legendary, but they cannot keep going without at least the moral support of us as Jews around the world.
Cost: Land cost US$400 plus return airfare
We have been contacted by ElAl as to the possibility of reduced fares. We can advise further.
If you are interested please contact Rae Bower at the Zionist Federation of Australia. 03-9272 5644 or
zfa@zfa.com.au

do it better and coordinate our on-line efforts on behalf
of Israel.  An Israeli software company have developed a
free, safe and useful tool for us - the Internet Megaphone.

Please go to www.giyus.org

UPCOMING EVENT...TU B'AV - (The Jewish Day of Love) 

Purchase your tickets by Wednesday 26th August....and receive
2 FREE Drink passes!!!
Compliments of JNF Next Generation

Tu B'Av- the 15th Day of Av, is both an ancient and modern holiday.
Originally a post-biblical day of joy, it served as a matchmaking
day for unmarried women in the second Temple period (before the fall
of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.). Tu B'Av was almost unnoticed in the Jewish
calendar for many centuries but it has been rejuvenated in recent
decades, especially in the modern state of Israel. In its modern
incarnation it is gradually becoming a Hebrew-Jewish Day of Love,
slightly resembling Valentine's Day in Australia.

To book your tickets via e-mail.  Please contact Tammy 9272 5666

WHEN: SUNDAY 13TH AUGUST, 2006
ACTIVITY: "TZIGANI"

Dear members
We are back in action with our next event coming up on Sunday 13th of August.
"Tzigani" are going to warm us up on this Sunday evening with some traditional and gypsy music from Russia, Romania, Hungary, Middle East, South America, France.
The gypsy band TZIGANI didn't have a name at all for many months - which isn't a surprise when you take a closer look at the musicians and their bewildering array of talents.Made up of classically trained musicians who between them play piano, cello, double bass, bakakaika and violin, the band couldn't find a word or a phrase to convey all their different skills - until they came upon the word "TZIGANI", from Romani language, this word means gypsy.
Their innovative sound has already taken them on tours to Singapore, Korea and all over Australia.
Now they are bringing their own brand of gypsy fiddling music to The Czech House on Sunday 13th August at 7pm.
TZIGANI's mix of styles comes from the performers' esoteric background in the music industry and beyond.
Coming from the classical side, they bring the precision and musicianship yet they are also freed up from the constraints of classical music and give themselves a lot of rein to experiment.
This concert at The Czech House is always a sell out - so book now to not be disappointed.

CZECH HOUSE
TZIGANI
Sunday 13th August at 7pm
This is a rare opportunity to hear TZIGANI in an intimate concert setting.
To avoid disappointment, please book in advance.

          REFUGEES TO AUSTRALIA 1933 - 1945

This exhibition, funded by a grant from the Department of Environment and Heritage, focuses on issues relating to pre-WWII - Europe and the attempts by Jewish people to find refuge from persecution. It also looks at these events from Australia's perspective, revealing how the Australian government responded to the refugee crisis. The exhibition concludes with an overview of the universal aspects of the refugee experience, then and now.

Through personal case studies, the exhibition highlights the desperate decisions refugees have to make and their experiences in a new land.

Issues examined in the exhibition have cross-curricular appeal:
.       the universal nature and effects of injustice on people's lives;
.       the violation of human rights;
.       the obstacles that make it difficult for victims to flee oppression;
.       the difficulties of finding refuge;
.       the challenges facing refugees trying to adjust to life in a new land.

WHEN: THURSDAY 24TH AUGUST, 2006
ACTIVITY: "THE CHALLENGE OF TRANSLATING THE BIBLE"

Faculty of Arts
Dean's Lecture Series
The Centre for Jewish History and Culture
invites members of the public to
The Richard Pratt Oration 2006
Professor Robert Alter
University of California, Berkeley, USA
"The Challenge of Translating the Bible"
From Ancient Hebrew to Living Literary English
Thursday 24th August, 7pm
Carrillo Gantner Theatre, Sidney Myer Asia Centre
The University of Melbourne, Parkville
Professor Alter will discuss the rich variety of stylistic
resources that the biblical writers called upon to
convey their vision of reality. These included rhythm, syntax,
levels of diction, precision of word-choice,
and sound-play. The existing English translations of the Bible
by and large have made little effort to convey
these aspects of style, and the challenge of creating a more
adequate translation is as much as feasible to
seek English equivalents for those features of language that
make biblical Hebrew the subtle and resonant
instrument of expression that it is.
Robert Alter is a Biblical scholar and a professor of Hebrew
and Comparative Literature. He has written 17 books, focusing
on such topics as the European novel from the 18th century to
the present, contemporary American fiction, and modern
Hebrew literature. He has also written extensively on the
literary aspects of the Bible and is noted most recently for
his translations of both the original Hebrew Pentateuch
in The Five Books of Moses, and The Story of David.

make sure no one is dissapointed. If this date doesn't work
for you please ring me. Once everyone has contacted me
I will confirm the date with you. We hope you will ask your
familys and friends to come. We will also charge $5.00 per
head - this will help partically to cover  the cost of Simon
and Mitzy  as well as a catered  light super .
Access will fund the rest.

In terms of the progress of our dance group Lenny and I
feel that everyone who participates  enjoys the sessions.We
feel that everyone not only enjoys dancing and drumming, but also
enjoys the socialisation aspect. Each week I have noticed that
the members are more intune with the rhythms and more aware
of the rest of the group.

Although this is an expensive  exercise as each week it costs $500.00
(The Song Room subsidize $250) Access together with the dance group
(each member paying $5)
pays $250, we feel justified in paying this money and hope you feel
that this is a worth while venture and will continue to participate.
It you have any comments or concerns please contact me.

a jewish owned farm in Bacchus Marsh which we believe to
be perfect for people with special needs. It has a wide variety of
activities including horse riding, games, movies,music and cooking.
(everything is optional). We would like to run it over the Cup weekend
starting Sunday
6th November - Tuesday 8th. Jannine and I will be attending
along with many leaders and volunteers. All food will be
kosher and costs will be kept to a minimum ( this is still to
be worked out). For those who are concerned we will have
separate sleeping. Males in one cabin, Females in another.
We are required to have a minimum of 15 kids/adults inorder
to be able to run the camp. Please call Jannine on 95275890 if you have
any concerns or queries. If you are
interested please email or ring so we can get the ball rolling.
My children have attended the camps 3 times, Mindy is 8
and Samantha is 10 and have had experiences they will never forget. The
camp is professionally and expertly run. If
you wish to view it via computer you can find it at
www.underbankstud.com.au  keep in mind however Underbank will set up a
