FYI- Election
by hillel-jsa＠lists.umanitoba.ca 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

A federal election is well underway, and election day is in a little under a month. There is no more critical time for us to mobilize as a community and support candidates from every party who share our values. CJPAC<http://www.cjpac.ca/> (Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee) can help you get involved. If you could make a commitment to get involved right now, it will ensure our community's voice is heard. Below are a couple of ways you can act and I hope you will commit to at least one of them: * Volunteer on a campaign: Even just a few hours on a campaign will make an immeasurable difference for our community. If you fill out this form<http://e-activist.com/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=123&ea.cam…> CJPAC will help place you on a campaign of your choosing. If you have already committed to a campaign, thank you! If you are interested, you can still make a difference by introducing yourself as a representative of CJPAC, and indicate that your help is in part due to the candidate's strong support for our community. * Spread the word: An election is the perfect time to engage your family, friends, and neighbours in Canadian politics. This is a great opportunity to reach out to politically unengaged community members and volunteer with them. You can also help promote CJPAC's work by sharing our site - www.itsup2you.ca<http://www.itsup2you.ca/> - which is full of information about how to get involved . It has never been easier, or more important, for our community to be strategically engaged in Canadian politics. Thank you in advance for your help in ensuring our voice is heard.

[JSA/Hillel] Seeking a new Driector of Jewish Campus Life
by Samantha Loxton 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Over the last 3 years the JSA/Hillel Executive has planned the most amazing programs and opportunities to connect Jewishly on campus. Jews, Brews and Canoes - 3 day leadership retreat at B'Nai Brith Camp, the Jews, Brews and Cruise kick off event on the Paddlewheel last year in addition to these sold out events: keynote speaker Ishmael Beah and the Punch Lines for Peace are programs that are still been talked about both on campus and through out our Jewish community. Beyond the countless Shabbats and the ever successful annual Interfaith Shabbat program, that seems to grow exponentially every year, JSA/Hillel in just 3 short years has created a visible space on campus for all Jewish students to connect with. These past 3 years have been an incredible journey for me. I have had the great pleasure to be introduced and work with, in my opinion not only great leaders and students on campus, but the leaders of tomorrow. As I take on the new position of Director of Leadership with the Jewish Federation, I want to extend a thank you to JSA/Hillel, the past and present Executive as well as the membership at large for all of your support and your vision to always seem to make the impossible a reality. My new office is just down the hallway and my new contact information is: 477-7407 or SLoxton(a)jewishwinnipeg.org<mailto:SLoxton@jewishwinnipeg.org>. Thank you Samantha Loxton Director, Jewish Campus Life The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg has an exciting opportunity for an up and coming professional who will staff Jewish Students' Association/Hillel as the focal point for Jewish student life in Winnipeg. Working closely with students, leadership and volunteers, the Director implements programming that includes Israel advocacy initiatives. Other duties include budget management, outreach and engagement and social networking to reach students and build relationships and partnerships with other groups. The Director of Jewish Campus Life reports to the Planning Director of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, and is supported by Federation staff and with the resources of national and international Jewish student organizations. Qualifications: A track record of professional success in a related field, training and/or experience in organizational and financial management, and community development are highly desirable. The ability to communicate effectively with students, professionals and lay leadership is essential. An advanced degree, and prior professional experience is preferred. A car is essential. Salary is commensurate with experience. The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg offers a comprehensive benefits package. Email letter and resume by July 15, 2010 to frcohen(a)jewishwinnipeg.org.

As you may know, Israel is currently under fire for actions related to the Flotilla that was recently prevented from reaching the Gaza. There is a lot of information and misinformation on the subject available, so I am sending a few resources to help educate you or inform you. The information comes from the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students as well as the Canada-Israel Committee (5 key talking points and links to videos and other resources). -Ashley *Overview* The ships carried several hundred activists and supplies for Gaza, and had refused Israeli offers to offload supplies at Ashkelon for transfer to Gaza following appropriate security clearance. One ship, sponsored by a terrorist Turkish organization known as IHH, was the site of violence when Israeli soldiers were attacked as they boarded the ship. The IHH has a long history of cooperation with Islamic terrorists. As a result of this violence, it is being reported that some 10 activists were killed and 2 IDF soldiers were wounded. The Government of Canada has expressed concern about the loss of life, and is waiting for more information to emerge before commenting further. We appreciate the prudence shown by the Government and by the opposition parties in this regard. It is our belief that as this story emerges, it will become clear that far from a neutral humanitarian relief effort, the Gaza flotilla represents a conscious and deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion by placing naive civilians in harm's way in callous disregard for their safety. Responsibility for the tragic loss of life rests squarely with those who organized the flotilla and provoked this confrontation. 1. *The Canadian Federation of Jewish Students* information can be found on their studentsforisrael website by clicking the following link: http://www.studentsforisrael.ca/search/node/Flotilla. Please note that if you use this source you will have to log in, if you do not have an account please sign up for one, as the site is a great way to communicate with other students across Canada, find resources, and hear about conferences and opportunities. 2. *Canada-Israel Committee (CIC) - 5 key talking points* Key Points for Consideration Re: Gaza Flotilla Israeli sailors, attempting to board one of the six ships of the protest flotilla en route to Gaza, were attacked by dozens of activists armed with knives, metal bars, and handguns. Fearing for their lives, the Israeli soldiers had no choice but to respond. At least four Israeli personnel were wounded by various means, including by gunfire from activists. Israel made every effort to provide the flotilla organizers with an opportunity to avoid a confrontation. Israel offered to bring the flotilla into the port of Ashdod, and to transfer their aid to Gaza following appropriate security checks. The organizers rejected this offer, stating clearly that "this mission is not about delivering humanitarian supplies, it's about breaking Israel's siege." (Greta Berlin, AFP, 27 May 10). Israel gave repeated warning of the maritime blockade in effect off the coast of Gaza and that the flotilla would be turned away and brought to an Israeli port to offload their cargo. The organizers of the protest deliberately invited a confrontation with Israeli sailors. This was not an aid mission, but a PR stunt designed to undermine Israel and bolster Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist organization. Among the protestors were a group of highly-trained extremists with links to the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist groups in Afghanistan. There is no blockade on humanitarian aid to Gaza. In fact, Israel delivers 15,000 tons of humanitarian aid - including medical supplies, food, and water - to Gaza every week. The blockade exists to prevent unauthorized individuals and unknown cargo from entering Gaza and falling into the hands of its ruling Hamas regime. Hamas is presently smuggling in massive amounts of military supplies into Gaza to fortify its positions and continue its attacks. Under international law Israel has the right to intercept vehicles that are "believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture." (Section 67A of the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea).
