SUMMARY:50 Years Since "Operation Yonatan" (Entebbe Raid) and Three Years Since The October 7 Massacre – These Two Events are Connected in Many Ways
DESCRIPTION:50 Years Since “Operation Yonatan” (Entebbe Raid) and Three Years Since The October 7 Massacre – These Two Events are Connected in Many Ways\nPresented by Rami Sherman\n19:30 Tuesday 15 September \nDuring the Entebbe hostage rescue\, Rami Sherman was “Operations Officer” of the unit that performed the rescue. Why is it important to discuss this event 50 years later? What happened during the hijacking? What was the response\, in Israel and in the diaspora\, to the operation and what was the impact on the relations between the State of Israel and the world? Lastly\, how is the Entebbe hostage rescue connected to the October 7 massacre? Rami will talk about these questions and more. \nRami Sherman’s parents were Holocaust survivors who came to Israel in 1946. Rami grew up on Kibbutz Lehavot Habashan in the north of the country which is located only 500 meters from the Syrian border. In 1972\, he enlisted in the army and was accepted into an elite unit\, “Sayeret Matkal”. In 1976\, an Air France airliner was hijacked and rerouted to Entebbe. At that time\, he served as an “operation officer” of the unit under the command of Yoni Netanyahu z” l\, and in this position\, he was involved in preparing the operation. Rami was on the first Hercules that landed in Entebbe and took part in the fight in the old terminal to rescue the hostages. \nThis year\, 2026\, we marked the 50th anniversary commemorating “Operation Yonatan”. Rami flew to Entebbe as an Israeli and landed back in Israel as a Jew\, but it has taken him 40 years to realize what that means. Since 1990 he has worked as a physiotherapist for the Israeli Olympic team. In 1993\, his family moved to Kibbutz Maagan Michael. He is married and has two daughters and five grandchildren. \nMembers pre-paid NIS 40  \nMembers at door and non-members NIS 60 \nPrepaid tickets available until noon on the day of this event. \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 or pay at the door. \n  \nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI\, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle) \nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf \nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8

SUMMARY:Tiyul: Gaza Border\, Nova\, and Sderot: A Guided Journey of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:Gaza Border\, Nova\, and Sderot: A Guided Journey of Remembrance\nTuesday 6 October \nOn October 7\, 2023\, Israel faced a tragic terrorist attack by Hamas in the Gaza Envelope\, resulting in the loss of about 1\,500 lives and the kidnapping of approximately 250 Israelis. Join us on a professional and informative tour as we visit some significant sites affected by this devastating event. This Tiyul offers firsthand insights into the history\, the aftermath of the massacre\, and the lasting impact of the attack. The itinerary includes visits to key sites that tell the harrowing yet inspiring story of survival\, bravery\, and unity. \nWe’ll begin our journey in Sderot\, a city that has suffered from rockets for 20 years\, where you’ll take in a panoramic view of the region as your guide shares the history and the significance of October 7. Then\, we’ll visit the Police Station Memorial\, a site that stands as a tribute to extraordinary acts of bravery and resilience. We’ll also pay our respects at the monument for the Lookout Tower Girls\, honouring those who were killed or kidnapped that day. \nNext\, we’ll visit the Nova Festival site and have a moment to reflect on those who lost their lives\, where their moments of joy were overshadowed by tragedy. From there\, we’ll stop at the lot of burned cars. This haunting memorial site reflects the sheer brutality of the massacre and stands as a powerful visual testament to the atrocities that took place. We’ll also make a brief stop at a bomb shelter near a bus stop—a stark symbol of daily life in this region. This specific shelter became a refuge for those fleeing the attack\, including Aner Shapira & Hersh Goldberg Polin\, whose stories have become a testament to courage in the face of terror. \nOur final stops will take us to a local kibbutz that experienced the October 7 attack where a resident will share a personal perspective\, providing a unique and intimate testimony. These once-thriving agricultural communities now face the monumental task of rebuilding – not guaranteed. \nPlease note\, the order of sites may differ from listed and not all are guaranteed. \nOur tour guide will be Yaron Hovav. \nPrices to follow \nDepart heading south\, first pick-up:\nYoung Israel 07:30\nReturn: approx. 18:30 \nPurchase tickets below  or call the box office 09-8330950. \nPlease call the box office to notify them of your pick-up point.

SUMMARY:Roby Simons: What’s with those Abandoned Buildings in Netanya?

They’ve been around for a decade or more. What were they at their peak? How did they get to their current situation? Why hasn’t that site been redeveloped\, and what can we expect in the future? I’ll apply a real estate and urban planning perspective to analyzing these sites. \nRobert A.

From 2020-2023\, he served as the Chair/Director of the School of Urban Affairs.

Dr. Simons received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in City and Regional Planning\, with an emphasis in real estate. \nMembers Prepaid – NIS 40 \nNon-members and Members at the Door – NIS 60 \nPrepaid ticketing available until noon on the day of the event.
