In November 2008, Jewish communities throughout Asia and the world stood together watching the tragedy in Mumbai unfold. These images are still fresh in our minds and they offered the world a glimpse of the type of terror Israel is forced to defend against

Israeli Foreign Ministers then found themselves defending Israel's reputation across the region and helping to secure the safety of the Jewish and Israeli community as the most recent conflict in the Middle East erupted.

Environmental tech with Jewish spirit in Asia

The global race is on to further develop clean-tech industries. Pollution has taken its toll and no country is immune from its effects. Each country brings its own specific set of challenges to the Green Revolution but on this one front, our goals are united. Israel, historically a leader in innovation and technology, has risen to the clean-tech challenge in recent years.

The challenges that Israel has overcome in terms of natural resource scarcity has made Israel a natural partner for other nations as they face critical environmental challenges.

The list of Israeli/Jewish companies excelling in green tech is long. Even a search among those companies putting their technology to use across Asia yields a more than impressive number in the areas of renewable energy, electric cars, natural gas, water technology, desalination and waste-management.

"March of the Living" - There are no words...

We walked through the two lines of barbed wire at Auschwitz and, at that moment, there was no air to breathe. It was not the sight and sounds of the place - it was seeing our children walking inside the wire. The air evaporated, the mind screamed - So it was also in Maydenek, in the gas chamber, so small, so diabolically efficient - to see our children there, and to catch a glimpse of the hell on earth that it must have been for parents to be unable to save their children.

We had for some years talked about going on the March with our children, we felt a need to bear witness, to be with them in coming to terms with the past and, as importantly, we hoped that their Grandparents would, Please G-d, live to know that their Grandchildren had done the trip.
